When I purchased tickets to see Avatar with my wife, we expected to see a good, cool movie. We sat down in the theatre for the 2:40 minute runtime, and left feeling shocked. We both looked at each other as we walked out of the theatre and said at the same time "I think we have just seen the greatest movie ever made" Avatar is just that, the greatest, most technologically advanced movie ever made. It is a triumph for mankind's advancement in technology and is the new base for which all tech-movies will be judged.
