Many movies I have seen this year have not lived up to their previews. I was beginning to think that if I just watched the preview I got the best parts of the movie. With Avatar I never even saw a preview, it was recommended to me y a friend. I have wanted to see a movie in IMAX and this seemed like a good idea. In the first 15 minutes of the movie I knew it had been a great Idea. Unlike other movies that have slow moving middles, Avatar just kept getting better. Yes it was very predictable but I have never felt so intigrated into a movie before. The 3D is like nothing you've seen before.
