Avatar. My first movie review.

On pace to shatter pretty much every record ever, I thought I’d check out the hype that is James Cameron’s “Avatar”. I actually heard about Avatar a long time ago as the buzz on the internet has been crazy for some time.

I love going to the movies. I’m caught up in the excitement the second I walk in and smell the popcorn, but this time was different. This was 3-D. I was pumped. Imagine my excitement when I realized that 3-D glasses were no longer cheap flimsy cardboard with blue and red lenses, but rather a sleek black pair that make you look like Marty Scorcese (minus the eyebrows of course).

Avatar was pretty good in that it was 3-D and it was different, but the movie itself was a little predictable and a little copy-catish. There were a few times throughout the flick that I had flashes of other movies including Terminator, Jurassic Park, Robocop and of course the Matrix. That’s the great thing about this movie however, is that it is like 4 or 5 amazing movies all wrapped into one. If you haven’t been to see it (and you probably have) I certainly suggest that you do. Avatar is on it’s own level in terms of movies but on a 4 star scale I give it a 3 1/2. Predictability is no fun and it could have done without the cheezy military explosions. All in all a great experience:)
