I haven't been blown off my seat in a long time in a cinema. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King was probably the last time. But that was a breeze.

Avatar was a fucking hurricane.

Everything that could make a movie fantastic was there, it was epic and it was sweepingly beautiful; the love, the characters and the world of Pandora. A fable of creature and nature. Despite following what appears to be a similar formula of many past movies, this one was different; a gargantuan effort was put into it and it shows. The action builds up, the characters bond, the situation falls greater into disarray and sentiments change. [SPOILER]But I must put special emphasis on the last point of sentiments; this I think touched people most, the protagonist's gradual realisation. You see it in his eyes, feel it in his voice and it lingers in your mind...can you abandon the Na'vi tribe?[spoilerEND]
