Avatar movie reviews
Kenneth Turan, LA Times
Whatever way you choose to look at it, "Avatar's" shock and awe demand to be seen. You've never experienced anything like it, and neither has anyone else.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times
Watching "Avatar," I felt sort of the same as when I saw "Star Wars" in 1977.
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
If your exhilaration with the (approximate) first half is undercut by an increasingly deflating pffffftttt sound, Cameron nonetheless has delivered the screen’s most anticipated and persuasive blend of live-action and motion-capture animation to date.
Manohla Dargis, NY Times
Created to conquer hearts, minds, history books and box-office records, the movie — one of the most expensive in history, the jungle drums thump — is glorious and goofy and blissfully deranged.

Parallels with history and current events are obvious enough, but it's Cameron's fabulous, far-fetched moonscape: vast, beautiful and meticulously detailed, a near-seamless blend of live-action and digitized footage that blasts us across the galaxy - and blows our minds.
