You know the PC vs. Mac ads? Well, George Lucas is a PC and James Cameron is a MAC. No other director in our age brings the magic back into moves quite like James Cameron. While George Lucas gives us Jar Jar Blinks, James Cameron gives us an entire new world thats truely epic in every sense of the world. James Cameron redefined the sci-fi genre with Aliens, brought the world to an end in Terminator, brought us an love story in a romantic unsinkable ship in Titanic and now he’s conquered the fantasy genre in Avatar.

Visually - Avatar is flawless. And I mean flawless. No detail, no matter how big or small has been overlooked. Its stunning to the n-th degree. As my initial reaction was right after I got out of the IMAX 3D theater last night: Its as if the visuals on screen are making sweet love with your eyes. I firmly believe James Cameron has redefined the sci-fi and fantasy genre with this movie. After this, audiences will demand more from directors and nothing short of brilliant will ever come close to the spectacle of this movie. The 3D rendering is perfect and not overused - the subtle touches of the third dimension add life to characters like no other. James Cameron knows exactly what he was doing here.

Avatar is not without its faults. The story takes huge leaps and liberties and is full of corny dialogue … But the premise is simple: Humans: Greedy and bad, bent on destroying native peoples of a far-away planet for their resources. But the story is secondary and it wasnt bad enough for me to deduct any points from my star rating. If I were to start nit-picking, Id be giving away the plot, which I dont want to do here.

Go see this movie. But only see it the way it was intended: In a huge IMAX 3D screen. Trust me on this one.
