J-Mac: ‘Avatar’ Overloads Senses

JimmyMAC: Got back from Avatar about an hour ago. As weird as this sounds, immediately following the movie, I didn’t even know if I liked it or if I didn’t like it. My wife was kinda the same way. There were some cheesey lines. No one is going to win any Oscars for acting. Those two things I knew for sure. And being someone that is typically hyper critical of those two specifics when it comes to rating movies, I was bewildered that I couldn’t decide whether I liked it or not. After getting home, my wife and I agreed that we were both a little “sensory overloaded.” Continued below.

Question: Judging from Jimmy’s description, does “Avatar” sound like a movie you want to see?

I was even fond of the characters despite the acting. I’ve now had some time to come to my senses and I can say the visuals are epic. There are movies you go to and walk away thinking the special effects were incredible-but incredible doesn’t even come close to describing the experience. “Special effects” doesn’t even describe how stimulating the visuals are. Go see it, but don’t for a second see it minus the 3D experience.
