Well Worth the Money!!!

Perhaps the most important element in going to see any movie is how you feel after it is over. Was it worth the money? Was it a waste of time? Do you want to go see it again? Well, in the case of Avatar I can say I've already seen it twice now! When I go to a movie I want to be taken to another place. I want to lose myself in the dream presented to me and with Avatar I was totally taken. Movie critics seldom have any clue what the people want anymore. They still think this is an age where if the plot isn't strong enough or the acting isn't perfect then the movie is a flop. Well I say nay to them. Avatar was a breathtaking, interesting, perception-altering powerhouse. See it now on the big screen because it was fantastic.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great for kids! So-So for your average adult.

I came into the movie with low expectations from all the negative reviews I had seen - but I was suprised that the movie did NOT suck as bad as everyone seemed to believe.
First - this is a kids movie. Simple as that. Easy to follow plot (for most), amazing colors and effects, a few jokes thrown in for good measure and a whole lot of speed. My 4-year-old sat transfixed to the screen for the entire time and did not take one potty break. (As compared to Horton Hears a Who in which I think we visited the bathroom 6 times.) My 8-year-old loved the action and racing as well.
As far as adults go - I am a pretty big fan of movies like this and even I found myself lost trying to fingure out what exactly was going on during the races. Things happened in such a warp-speed blur that there were times I just blinked and mayhem had run it's course. The story was not very original but seeing the grin on my kids faces was more then enough. Don't get me wrong - it was a decent movie - but I can't justify spending the money for just me to go. (Although I suppose if you use drugs the colors and flashes might do you well.)
I will note that Christina Ricci has amazing large eyes. Her character not withstanding they were nice to look at.
So, as far as I am concerned if you have kids who like racing, flashy lights, and a lot of action then you would do well to take them to see this movie. It was a wonderful time with my family. Conversely, if you are looking for a night out with someone special - try something else. You will be lost on this one because in-between kisses and flirting you will miss most of everything.
