HAPPY AVATAR DAY

Today is the day of the big preview of Jim Cameron’s new film, Avatar . I was fortunate to get an early look at a special fifteen minute preview this morning and was completely blown away (in the interest of full disclosure, I work for the company responsible, 20th Century Fox).

I can’t say much because it really left me speechless, and words would fail miserably anyway. For Baby Boomers like me, think of the first time you saw Star Wars in the theater. Now multiply that experience by 1,000. That’s what seeing short bursts of Avatar felt like to me.  (For everyone else, maybe how you felt watching three other Cameron films: Terminator 2, Aliens, and Titanic.)

Whatever your frame of reference, I predict that the movies will never be the same again after Avatar hits the screens.
