Avatar: A Triumph in movie making

This film... there is simply no words that can describe the beauty of this film.

Its not often a person gets to see an evolution in entertainment. This movie, no this film, is just such a moment.

No, its not the greatest story ever, but it is a story that tries to teach a lesson. That of the fact that we are having a seriously hard time learning from the past, and those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. The story is a classic one, and one often told, though not set in the same time and with such emotion.

The acting is heartfelt and gut wrenching. That's part of what makes any movie mean the most.

But its more than just that. It is simply completely beautiful. A rich and fantastic world is populated with creatures that have only existed in dreams and nightmares. Some are dark and vicious, and others... well... they glow with bio-luminescence usually only seen in the deepest of Earth's seas and are simply breathtaking.

The society created by James Cameron feels so incredibly real and vibrant and amazing. One that you want to learn more of, and I'm sure will spawn dozens if not hundreds of novels and several sequels.

But even that doesn't begin to cover it. This movie made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me cheer. But most of all it made me shiver from the intense feeling that I was watching history in the making and from the utter beauty of what was before me.

This movie is going to change film making forever. Its a triumph for James Cameron, and for the film industry at large. I have no more words, and what I've said doesn't even remotely begin to describe the truth. And so I say simply... see it. You know you want to.
