After a month in the theaters, I decided it was finally time to set some time aside to see Avatar. I always try to avoid the opening weekend box office hype of any movie, and Avatar\’s has been anything but short lived.

Tonight was no exception, as the theater that I went to was totally full for the 10:30 showing on this Tuesday evening. That just reinforces the fact that there is a lot of buzz going around about how superb it is. Thus, I was really excited to see it and my hopes were high that it would be as great as I had heard it was.

It seems like any time I hear great things about a movie, I end up being somewhat disappointed. Thankfully, this wasn\’t the case with Avatar tonight. What a blast it was to see this movie in three dimensions.

Bar none, this movie was indeed the greatest one that I have ever watched with regard to the visual effects. Granted, there are only a few times where it seemed as if things in the movie were coming at you, but those 3-D effects are what undoubtedly made this movie so extraordinary.

By putting together the story and action so well, Cameron was able to achieve having the plot and the 3-D technology fused together as one. You really feel like you are right there on the planet of Pandora and it is not just me who felt like that.

This was an abstract world, filled with enough fantasy to establish a cult- like following. If you\’ve seen the also brilliant Pan\’s Labryinth and enjoyed it, you\’ll appreciate the magical creatures that grace the screen in Avatar.

Finally, Avatar is a movie that all ages can enjoy. My recommendation is to definitely go see it in 3-D.

Yes, watching it in the regular way will still give you a lot of enjoyment, but I would not want to miss the fantastic experience that I just went through. So make plans soon to go to the theater and view this awesome movie.
