MetaCritic Avatar reviews
James Cameron has indeed made his mark as one of the best director if not the best of all time. Avatar is a visually stimulating and well-paced with sweet-sorrow love story which many has compared to Pocahontas. But the real comparison made is with Titanic, the mega blockbuster hit and the director's last movie 12 years ago. With the help of advanced technology, Cameron has literally brought the movie to life.
Though it has received every praise from everyone that has watched it, I was not compelled to endure the ridiculous lineup to watch the 3 hour show. However, as a friend offered two IMAX 3D center seats, it was hard to refuse. The experience was phenomenal, so real that you can feel the ground shaking as the bombs hit and breathe the air of the magical world. Believe me that I am not exagerating.
The movie never felt the full 163 minutes it runs simply because the story covers so much detail very efficiently. The film makes me question why not more quality movies are made nowadays with better technology and more experience. Looking at the most recent movie ratings for 2009 films, few made it above 50 out of a 100 when Avatar is easily in the 90s.
Take a note, directors, stop being lazy.
