Avatar Was Stunning

I am no film critic, but I had to put my opinion of this movie down in writing. I have written about Avatar before on the nook, but I had not yet seen it. This past Thursday, I finally took the time to go see this highly rated film.

I must say that I can't remember the last time a movie so completely enthralled me in its atmosphere. For 2 hours and 42 minutes I was on another world, oohing at the exobiology and aahing at the lifelike, well, everything.

Yes, in essence it is a story of white man's guilt, seen executed perfectly in movies such as Pocahontas and The Last Samurai. But it was nuanced enough that it was hard to tell.

In any case, go see it while it's still available in 3D, which isn't used in any way but to add wonderful depth to an alien world. This movie is definitely deserving of its Oscar nod, along with any other accolade it receives.

Go!
