First... I'm SO glad I went to see Avatar. I had seen a couple of 'host-type' folks on TV, standing in front of the camera, talking about how this film would NEVER make it's $300 million budget. WELLLLLLLL... I hope the WORLD gives this film a chance. It's a REMARKABLE example of state-of-the-art digital... AND it's in 3D. I thought the story was great, the characters believable and the 'experience' (especially in IMAX 3D) very 'real.' I've already sent an email to all my friends... and posted a message like this on my FaceBook page... telling everyone that they MUST SEE AVATAR!!! I'm SO excited about the what those folks have done. WELL worth it. Thanks to everyone involved. I had a BLAST!!!
