I had commented on another post on this site, that The Matrix was the reason I bought a DVD player, and Avatar would be the reason I got a Blue ray player, well… my wife ordered my copy of Avatar on blue ray last weekend, and I promptly went to fetch it at 8:00am this morning. Needless to say, tonight I will be watching Avatar in full HD on my PS3.

Apparently this is just the first release of Avatar, and according to James Cameron, there will be another release later this year that will be a box set with over an hour of extra scenes and behind the scenes footage.

Avatar has already overtaken Titanic as the number 1 grossing movie in history, and now that Avatar is available on Blue-ray and DVD, with more to come later this year, it’s certainly going to be making the gap between number 1 and number 2 much greater….let’s not forget however that Titanic is due for a re-release in 3D… My money is still on Avatar breaking all records.

I’m sure that some of you would agree that most movies relying so heavily on CG to make a profit, do so at the expense of good acting or for that matter a story line. Personally, I’m bored of the plethora of CG created explosions and F-18’s shooting at space ships kind of stuff! So whilst we were up on holiday in Namibia, we decided not to watch it for that exact reason.

So on arriving home and having nothing better to do. I convinced Sian to go watch it with me.
Well…it was nothing less than breath taking!
Not just in terms of the effects, but the story line and acting.
James Cameron created a movie with such magic and beauty that it left me with a feeling that I have probably not had since watching Star Wars as a kid. Elements in this movie include; the discovery of hope, love, spiritual harmony, exhilaration, and a world that is a visual wonder complete with an enchanted portrayal of all its living things.

So keeping this short! It is an absolute must see!
Kudos Jim
