There are so many reviews out on Avatar that I see no need to add my own except to say what an amazing achievement and movie it is. I can honestly say it’s the best movie I have ever seen. Being a science-fiction kind of guy, it was right up my alley. I couldn’t help but fall in love with the beautiful world of Pandora and I honestly cared about what happened to the characters.

It just amazes me at some of the negative reviews I have heard about it. Have we become so cynical a society that we cannot take a simple story and enjoy it? I’ve heard the term “it’s been done before” but I hate to tell you, they have All been done before. Have you never heard: “Every story worth telling has already been told in the bible”? Well, I have. It’s just how they are presented is what is different and James Cameron has done an incredible job of presenting his while throwing in a high idea or two about conservation and humanity. If you don’t like his simple story you surely won’t like mine, but that’s not going to keep me from writing it. If I were to have 1/1000th’s of the success he has had and make a story half as good I would be happy.

So, go see it. Enjoy the beautiful 3d cinematography. Root for the good guy. Hate the bad guy. Enjoy the love story. Go be entertained. That’s what it’s all about anyway.
