Avatar

I am happy to announce that I went to see Avatar and it wasn't just hype.



A good story, superb special effects in an IMAX experience and a great attention to detail make this film one of the great ones. This may be the "Star Wars" of the decade, something people will remember for around... 5 years. But I still hope there won't be any sequels, since they will just hurt the story.

The story is a nice blend of good ideas. It lacks somewhat in originality, as one can easily find resemblance to various movies and games, such as "Dances With Wolves", "The Matrix" , "The Lord of the Rings", "Sid Meyer's Alpha Centauri", which probably borrowed ideas from other less known works of art. But the mix is well put together.

If you got the chance to see it at an IMAX, go for it. You won't see another movie like this one this year.

P.S. I also saw "Paranormal Activity", which is just crap. You know the scares that the trailer/teaser has? Well those are all the scares in the movie. I don't know what some people find so scary about it.
