Weird. Possibly a cost-factor, or a disinterest in cinema. AVATAR is the first cinematic journey I have been on in over 12 months. Have to agree with Mal - the unobtainium becomes secondary very quickly into the movie. The fact that our main character is wheel-chair bound is forgotten quickly after he is converted to a purple alien. You have convinced me to go see this amazing movie again early in 2010 ... this time in 3D! I do remember the IMAX theatre’s here in Adelaide, though never went to a single movie. Weird.

I actually thought the story was quite strong and found myself caring deeply for the fate of the Na'vi. Only time will tell if it will reach the same lofty pop-cultural heights as Star Wars but for me, it was the visually stunning film I have ever seen with a solid story that is still head and shoulders above most other Hollywood-fare. The 3D was also very well done and not in your face (like what I was expecting) instead adding depth and detail that further immersed you in Pandora. Anyway, I thought I should point out as well that unobtanium is what filmmakers call a 'McGuffin'. What it is isn't important. It is simply a plot device used to explain the actions of the main characters e.g. the suitcase in Pulp Fiction that John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson are sent to retrieve. Looking forward to see what the next big 3D movie holds and if it is actually here to stay this time! Nice review.
