Hey everyone! Yesterday was the day we’ve been waiting for for 12 years: the release of James Cameron’s Avatar. I saw it last night in IMAX 3D, and here’s my review-

A brilliantly told sci-fi epic. James Cameron’s Avatar is a luxuriant masterpiece to be remembered for decades to come. Cameron creates another world entitled Pandora (which turns out not to be based on the iPhone radio app), and he has as much fun with it as he possibly can.

Sam Worthington isn’t too shabby, and Zoe Saldana is pretty great, but to be honest the acting doesn’t matter all that much. Cameron is clearly the star of his own groundbreaking 3D account, and he shines more than ever.

Emotionally-charged and somehow not up its own ass with “messages”, Avatar is history in the making. For all those who weren’t around for Star Wars or Terminator, the King of the World has something shiny wrapped under the tree for you this Christmas. And long live the King.

4.5 out of five stars.

    Quite hated the film. All it had was creatures(so called people) of an immaterial world with fake Hollywood cliches.
