Avatar

James Cameron's Avatar was one of the greatest movies ever made. I went with a few friends on the opening night in December to the midnight showing at the IMAX theater in 3d. The whole story reminded me of Pocahontas; it was almost like it was supposed to be the futuristic version of the Disney classic. The main story was about this "When his brother is killed in a robbery, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand - and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora”(IMDB).

The 3-D was awesome too. It wasn’t like normal 3-D movies, where things popped out on you. It was just more like when they would be walking through the forest, you would see the plants right next to you. I ended up seeing it a second time because me and my girlfriend really liked it, but I refused to see it in regular 2-D. I paid the extra to see the 3-D because it was such a good movie, I felt that seeing it 2-D would just ruin it.
