It has been one month since the DVD release of Avatar and if for some reason you haven’t seen this film yet…I am urging you to watch the film that is truly inspiring to us all.

Release Date: April 22, 2010
Rating: PG-13
Run Time: 162 minutes

A reluctant hero. An epic journey. A choice between the life he left behind and the incredible new world he’s learned to call home. Return to James Cameron’s Avatar — the greatest adventure of all time.

It’s hard not to appreciate a work of art that was so many years in the making. Avatar is no doubt much more memorable for its stunning visuals than it is for its story. What an understatement it would be to name this film impressive. The visual effects are out of this world. The Na’vi culture is quite fascinating to say the least…the look, the language, every little detail created in this culture and in this world was so well thought out that it will make you as a viewer yearn for such beauty in the real world.

Now while this may just be the most beautiful film you have ever seen and while the characters are well layered, the performances solid…there is no denying that the story itself was simple and quite predictable. James Cameron did a superb job directing this film. But it seems all of the effort was put forth in the visual aspects and little was put forth in creating more of an original story. What makes this such a thrilling adventure to watch is not the plot but the anticipation of what there is to discover on Pandora.

As far as the story goes..there’s romance, there’s the dilemma of morals vs. business politics, there’s self discovery, there’s humor, there’s action…there’s something for everyone. One thing there isn’t…special features on the DVD. So my honest advice is to wait for this DVD to re-release with special features or even better, wait for the 3D release to get the most out of this film. Many have called Avatar “epic,” and “one of the greatest films of 2009” and after viewing the film for yourself, you will see why it would be the perfect addition to your home movie collection.
