Avatar Movie Review

How can the graphics have more dimensions than the characters? Two years after his last theatrical release, "King of the World" James Cameron returns with Avatar, a sci-fi epic promising to redefine blockbuster filmmaking. Shot with groundbreaking performance capture and touted as a revolution in digital 3-D, the film drops audiences onto the lush alien world of Pandora for a story of conflict, colonization, and transformation. With massive hype, sky-high expectations, and visuals unlike anything currently playing in theaters, Avatar arrives as a full-scale cinematic event. But does the story rise to meet the technological leap, or is it spectacle in search of substance? Arnie, Marjorie, and Stuart step into the world of the Na’vi to decide whether Cameron has once again changed the game, or simply dazzled us with shiny new tools.
