I went to see Avatar last night, with Ava, Adam, Michael, and Lakhita. I cannot remember the last time I saw a movie that hit my sense of wonder so directly; it felt like being a kid and watching “Star Wars” again. It’s an old familiar story, and nothing about the plot will surprise you, but that’s not the point. Avatar is about vision, awe, imagination, and love; the story is a comfortable skeleton supporting an immersive experience in an alien world. You have never seen anything like it before; someone clearly cared very deeply about this movie and paid attention to a rich torrent of detail that brings the imaginary planet to life. You have to check your cynicism at the door, but if you let him Cameron will take you on a beautiful, compelling, and spectacularly colorful ride.
