I am a little put out with Ron because he saw "Avatar" with Beckie over the holidays while Mandi and I went to see "New Moon." (Yes, I had already seen New Moon, but it's something that Mandi and I HAD to do). Anyway, his appraisal of the movie was lukewarm and I lost my sense of urgency to see it. Boy, did we disagree on this movie!
I saw this movie in 3D (Ron didn't) and maybe that made a big difference. It took me a few minutes before I stopped feeling a little dizzy after I put on the 3D glasses, but I settled in for the almost 3 hour movie. I totally bought into the whole thing! It was just BEAUTIFUL! Yes, the bad guys were pretty stereotypical, and it's sad that there was another movie about ugly Americans and their need to destroy and dominate. I had a good idea where the story was going and how it would end. Even so, I was completely captivated. Avatar won't win any acting awards, but it wasn't about that. The planet Pandora is the winner - the special effects were beyond anything that I've ever seen. I will definitely see this movie again and make Ron open his mind and his eyes and put on his 3D glasses!
Even though I saw this movie this year, it was released last year, so I am revising "My Top 10 Movie List"of 2009 to include Avatar. Oh yes! If you haven't seen it yet - GO! And pay the extra for the 3D glasses - it is SO worth it!
