He broke movies

by wrinkler on January 26, 2010

Mr. Music had a gig on Saturday night, so DF and I went to see Avatar.

Holy moley #2!

We saw it in 2D, because there isn’t a theater in our town showing it in 3D. But, as soon as we got home, we figured out where and when we could see it in an Imax theater. We would have gone the next day, but all the shows were sold out.

This is a GREAT movie. A paradigm-busting experience. As I said to DF in the car on the way home, “James Cameron broke movies.” Meaning that the idea of going to see a film with human actors moving around inside real buildings suddenly seems pretty tame.

If you haven’t seen Avatar yet, do not delay. Even if you don’t like science fiction, go see it. If nothing else–even if you don’t like the avatars or the merging of computer graphics and human actors or the great battle scenes or the story itself–you’ll be blown away by how much imagination can fit into one man’s brain.
