Avatar: Simply the Best Movie this Decade

James Cameron hit a homerun with this movie.  Cameron’s comeback with an epic is capped off with a movie that very well could smash box office records.  He’s come a long way since Terminator and many were left wondering if he could ever duplicate that success.  I believe he has.  Avatar, starring Sam Worthington, explores a warring faction between humans and the Na’vi, but this is more than an action film that has tons of explosions.  There is a story behind all of the action, though that’s hard to imagine with a movie like this.  If you look past the shooting and the explosions, there’s still a movie worth watching.  Sully (Worthington) regains use of his legs as an Avatar, and is torn between his mission and what’s right.  Throughout the movie there is a constant battle of the psyche and the movie moves in that direction.  Right or wrong, good or bad: the classic inner dwelling that overcomes many of us.  This focus on that all the while adding in subtle religious and political themes makes this movie worth the price of admission, even in 3-D.  Watching it in 2-D was one thing, but 3-D is something special.  So as not to give anything away, expect the following: Great dialog, clear and concise direction, believable characters, emotional involvement, action, adventure, great effects, excellent screenplay, and last but not least, balance.  This movie does have it all.  You’ll be in it the movie for nearly three hours, but trust me, it’s worth it.
