We arrived JUST as the movie began, realized there were not 2 seats together and so for three hours sat on balcony stairs and watched the entire movie. I would have NEVER lasted 15 minutes if this had been any other movie...but Avatar had us glued (or was it stuck) to our "seats". We were stunned is all I can say...I have not been able to get the movie out of my mind and unable to stop telling everyone that they MUST see this if they only see ONE movie this new year. Kudos to James Cameron...this is your finest hour!
Having read the book right after reading The DaVinci Code, I wondered whether the movie would hold the same suspense for me that the novel did. The answer? It sure as "heck" (no pun intended) did! Even though I knew the ending I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Hoping there is a third film in the works!!
