Avatar - an amazing experience

I was too excited about this movie after reading plenty of good reviews on DH and elsewhere. I was even regularly checking IMDB to see how well the movie was faring over the last 3-4 days. At the moment, Avatar is rated 8.9 on IMDB!! Thats like amaaazing. And thanks to my friends (Haseeb and Shashi), I watched the movie today @ Urvashi theater. The movie is insanely awesome, visually spellbinding and will definitely take movie-making to the next level! The plot is rather simple but very much enjoyable. The graphics is stunning. Never before has anyone seen such high quality special effects before! Even the expressions on the faces of Na'vi people (humanoid natives of Pandora) are so insanely real-life-ish that its just mind-blowing! Directory James Cameron has done a great job in creating a whole new imaginary World of Pandora - which is as fantastic and amusing as the Middle Earth of Lord of the Rings, if not better.

If you are a fan of the Sci-fi genre or if you have really enjoyed watching movies such as the Lord of the rings trilogy, you will fall in love with Avatar. However, I highly recommend watching the movie at a good 3D theater. In my case, Urvashi in Bangalore wasn't really up to the mark with the 3D thingy (at least when compared to my previous 3D experience) but I expect the multiplexes to be better equipped in Bangalore. Before you go, watch the official trailor and the video intro to Pandora.
