I just saw James Cameron’s new masterpiece. AVATAR is a perfect blend of science fiction, adventure, a love story and how we shape our own path. It’s almost like Pocahontas in space. Although I prefer the nickname “dances with smurfs” better… There is no reason whatsoever to not go and see this film. Now. And in 3D please.  And for once, I hope they don’t make a sequel. There is nothing else that needs saying. In 20 years, we will look back and think of AVATAR the same way as we look at Star Wars today; it changed cinema forever. And that is the true art of it, not just the subtle nuances in really really photorealistic CGI, not the well developed world and mythologies, not the near perfect storyline and certainly not the cheesy ballad at the end. No, the true art of AVATAR is what it does to you. Me. Us. The moviegoer. It hits you right in the face and sticks to your brain like Corellian snugsnails. This is a film you will remember, and keep watching. 

This changes everything.
