AVATAR MOVIE REVIEW

The 3D film Avatar, directed by James Cameron, hits theaters December 18th but the first reviews are in today. The film is being called ‘mind blowing’ and not the half-billion dollar train wreck it had been rumored to be. Details after the cut…

The UK Sun got the first look at the highly anticipated film Avatar:

In Avatar, everything feels real – and it’s as if you are immersed in the action.

And what action.

The final battle scene is 20 minutes long and absolutely mind-blowing.

The reviewer also describes the film as ‘overwhelming’ and lauds character development throughout. Sure, it cost more than $300 million to create this beast, but it appears (if were to believe this first review) it may have been money well spent.

Then again, maybe ‘The Sneak’ felt obliged to be complimentary since he got the exclusive?

Update: More positivity…

@petershall: “The AVATAR buzz is an understatement. That movie was unbelievable.”

@chasewhale: “Just finished AVATAR. Special effects were top notch. The movie ran a little long for my likings but I liked it!”

@comingsoonnet” “Okay, about Avatar?…. WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW! Unbelievable… amazing.”

@MikePereira21: Was blown away by Avatar! For 150 minutes, I was a kid again. Thank you James Cameron! BTW, the groundbreaking 3D was mindblowing.”

@rejects: “I’m not supposed to talk about Avatar… That said, it was a spectacular experience. Like nothing I’ve seen before.”

@markwalters74: “Just saw AVATAR. Not allowed to talk about it yet. Not allowed to say how it’s an amazing visual feast, or that Jimmy C’s still got the gift.”

@dmann11: “Holy effing crap!!! Avatar was FREAKING AWESOME KICK ASS SWEET!!!!!”

@TheGate: “For the record ‘Avatar’ was worth the $400 million, and no it is not even remotely “vomit inducing”.

KTLA host is smitten by the film:

London — Just left the ‘World Premiere’ of “Avatar,” and while the standing ovation the film received at its conclusion is probably just the requisite politeness; I can report that this is another rare example where the quality of the movie does indeed exceed the hype and “Avatar” will most certainly be among the 10 ‘Best Picture’ nominees for the Oscars; and James Cameron will also be a Best Director nominee. I think it is also possible that actress Zoe Saldana, who has the most challenging of roles in the film, may rack up an additional acting nomination as well.
