This movie reminded me of the experience I had when I first saw Star Wars. I was 18 and I remember thinking I had actually visited another world. Avatar is the same experience. I took my 13 year old daughter and she shared the same feelings I had about Star Wars. We felt as if we had seen, touched, and even smelled this planet, this world. I can't imagine going to see movies that aren't IMAX 3D again. Hopefully, this will help Hollywood sees the importance of the movie experience for the viewers.
Transformers was exactly what I expected and wanted - action and special effects wrapped around a good story. Sequels are challenging because the story is often lost especially with a movie that is so dependent of CGI and FX. Not this one. It was fun, funny, fast, and exciting. Loved it.
