Buzz, Hype, Excitement...whatever one wants to call the aurora surrounding James Cameron's newest epic film "Avatar" would be absolutely correct. This 3-D adventure takes movie-goers on a wild emotional ride that will leave you falling in love with forestry, vegetation and bio-research by movie's end.I do not believe I ever saw a movie that produced as many eyegasms as Avatar did in its 2hours and 46 min run. The special effects of this movie were a character all in itself. They were bold, vibrant, unique, and playful at times. After watching Avatar on an IMAX screen, one can never say they have not seen a more beautiful purple flower or blue person. One can not say they never experienced the surealness of a mountain dancing among the serenity of clouds. The realism that Cameron's effects team brought to screen in 3-D was breathtakingly amazing and even that comment is an understatement.
The storyline was not totally anemic, but parts of the film teetered a fine line of cliche. The cliche feel did not stop the main characters played by Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana from doing a stupendous job. Each actor allowed the character develop and define their importance to the plot. Unfortunately, I felt that there was an attempt among the writers to making the lines bigger than then effects, and unlike Titanic, it was not as powerful. I definitely see a bright future for both main stars after their role in this break out film.

"Avatar" is still a definite must see on a Digital 3D or IMAX screen. It is worth the extra money and you will thank me for it afterwards. My rating 3.5 3D glasses out of 4.
