I try to see what movies that interest me as soon as they come out. As for Avatar... I think it is one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. Special Effects and 3D has come a long way. And I can tell you right now, if you are a Sci-Fi movie fan, if you enjoy qualities in the special effects and 3D movies you have seen in the past... This movie is going to blow you away. The animation is outstanding and the storyline is great. I have seen it twice. In Real 3D and in IMAX, although I liked it better in IMAX, either way will still have you stuck to your seats. This is not a movie you want to leave for a few minutes to take care of business or to get snacks. You want to watch every minute of this 2hr 40min movie. Belive me.
