I went to this film over the holiday break with a couple family members. I can't see another film taking Best Picture for the year's Oscar nods.
The movie has a used theme but it doesn't short change the audience one bit. You're tied into the story and will marvel at the CGI and the characters visually. The sound and experience are phenominal.
I didn't see the 3D version but will go see the movie again just to experience this. Buy a large popcorn, a big soda and enjoy! I rarely dislike a movie I see in the theater's but the ones I love and will see again are few and far between. This film could bring about vast changes to the industry. Remember when 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' was cutting edge?
If you're interested in the technology behind the blockbuster, here's an interesting behind the scenes article: http://www.examiner.com/x-32162-LA-Business-Tech-Examiner~y2009m12d21-Behind-the-scenes-of-blockbuster-movie-Avatar-the-technology.
That is the greatest blog post I've ever read! And what a movie!
