Some More Avatar Talk

If you read the first one, you know the drill. Just read along.

Avatar is getting a lot of hype lately. There are currently 5 reviews in for the movie and they all are positive. One person from the Hollywood Reporter even said at the end, "How will James Cameron ever top this?" I didn't think that Avatar was going to be that good. I just thought that it was going to be a little better than Terminator 1. If it's better than Terminator 2, I will be shocked. Also, the closest IMAX theater STILL doesn't have showtimes for the movie other than midnight. I can't go to the midnight show so, I only have the option of seeing it opening day. I don't want to be late to seeing what is likely to be a major success and a big bang for the end of the year. I still expect Avatar to be excellent though. I just want to experience it the best way possible, which is IMAX 3D. We can only hope for the best. Avatar is going to be amazing regardless. It is ringing repeatedly with Oscar buzz. We're constantly hearing Best Picture or Best Director (James Cameron). I can see that happening, I just don't think that it has high chances. I still have to see the movie on December 18th though. If I don't see it in IMAX 3D opening day, I might as well not be a movie critic. I can't see it at midnight so, my chances of seeing it on opening day are very slim. I just recently saw Precious and I think that that film has a far better chance of getting a Best Picture nomination rather than an action film like Avatar (or sadly District 9). So far, Where the Wild Things Are is the best film of 2009 so, if Avatar is good enough, then I'll say that it has high chances of getting the Best Picture nomination. No question, James Cameron will be nominated for Best Director. For the past 4-5 years, he's been working extremely hard to make this film such a large success that it will change the way we see movies. We can only hope that James Cameron is right on this particular movie. I'm all for supporting this movie in every way. Please, see Avatar in IMAX 3D as soon as possible to make it a success.
