A while ago I went to see Avatar with a group of 7 or 8 people, most of them family, and a wide range of ages. I saw it in 3-D at the imax theatre on Queen street. In the building there are a number of different levels connected by escalators, making it look almost like a multilevel maze. The actual theatre is huge, both in screen size and seat numbers. Looking at both the inside of the building and the theatre, one of my first thoughts was of a fire. The design of the building is terrible if you take into consideration the possibility of a fire. Despite the size of the cinema, and also the price of the tickets, it was completely packed with people. This was obviously because of all the hype and publicity that the movie had been given. I was expecting an at least above average movie, because despite all the great reviews it's never good to have too high an expectation.
I thought that the special effects were excellent, which I also think is what advertises the movie the most. The storyline was typical and has been used many times in other movies. But even though many people criticise movies on being predictable or overused, I don't think that's always a bad thing. As long as the overall story is good and correctly fits the movie, then it's not necessarily something to downgrade it by. This is my opinion of Avatar, the overall storyline has been seen many times, but it was well made, well acted and entertaining. It is also suitable for a large range of ages.
In simple terms, I enjoyed the movie and don't regret spending precious money to see it.
