Ready, Set, Animate! …. James Cameron, best know for the blockbuster  Titanic, has hit the screen again with an epic adventure called Avatar.

The human race, sometime in the future, have found a planet called Pandora and are mining it (so -to -speak) for its resources.  Failing to win the acceptance of the local natives, the Na’vi, the military send in a paraplegic soldier.  Jake Sully is connected to a Symbiont like body called an Avatar and accomplishes his mission only to find himself torn between two worlds, the one he’s from and the one he now loves.

One of  the most enjoyable films I have seen.  Seeing this movie in 3D was spectacular yet this film is visually impressive with or without the 3D magic.  Leave it to James to show up after taking a break and blow the silver off the screen.  Definitely worth a ticket.

I found this movie refreshing on many levels. It was something new out of Hollywood, not a re-hash of old movies like we’re seeing a lot of lately. The theme of the movie is also completely plausible given even the current state of technology today. And who wouldn’t want to live a life without boundaries.

The movie is not without it’s moments however, that are a little on the corny side and once you get over the fact that the “surry’s” are supposed to look a little plasticy, the move flows well. All in all I found this movie very enjoyable. Not Bruce Willis’ most action packed movie by far, but I think he did a great job on it. Definitely worth the ticket to see on the big screen..

For a movie with a rating of 14A Pandorum has more than its fair share of chills, jumps and spooky moments, though some of them were predictable I still got a kick out of it.  The story is well thought out, flows nicely, and has a few twists in it that surprised me.   The end was a little bit of a disappointment, but not enough to detract from the movie as a whole.

I noticed some scenes reminiscent of both Alien and Event Horizon.  For people who enjoyed these movies they will probably like Pandorum as well.  There seems to be a limited showing of this film in some areas so if you get the chance to see it on the big screen I would take it.

This is one of the most interesting movies I have seen.  I enjoyed this movie for many reasons and can’t say what I liked the best about it.  Even though the film is outstanding, I find myself pondering the ultimate question, was it worth seeing in the theatre.  Well…. Yes and No.  Yes, because of  reasons already mentioned and because it is such a unique film that is so enjoyable to watch.  No, because if you have a nice 32 inch w i d e screen TV, your going to enjoy the film just as much as in the theatre.  Nothing will be missed on a small screen, so… I’m leaning a little more to being a great renter.
