"AVATAR"

What's all the buzz about the movie "Avatar"?
Because I seldom go to movies, but still want to know about them, I go to the New York Times. The New York Times knows EVERYTHING.
I used to get simple movie reviews. Now I get clips of the movies. So many clips that my grandchildren will think I've seen the movie when we share our favorite parts.
James Cameron ("Titanic") made the movie. He had the script for "Avatar" in a drawer for some years, but there wasn't enough technology to put it together the way he wanted. Finally he decided it was time.
It's about a distant moon called Pandora in the year is 2154.
The hero is Jake. He has signed on with a corporation that’s intent on extracting a valuable substance from the moon called "unobtainium". (You can go ahead and laugh. James Cameron decided to be a bit funny.)
The natives of Pandora make this difficult and they are awesome fighters.
So a plan is born. Make some look-alike Pandorians, infiltrate the natives and change their minds about letting the mineral be taken.
The story line follows Jake who becomes one of the look-alikes and is sent to carry out the plan. Of course he falls in love with a female Pandorian, and in the end switches sides. (same old same old)
It's lush. The exotic creatures include an astonishment of undulating, flying, twitching and galloping organisms. They don’t just crawl through the underbrush; they thunder and shriek, yip and hiss, pointy teeth gleaming. A fan said "The film is so visually stunning that at times it leaves you breathless. The animation, special effects and real scenery are absolutely seamless. It is a breakthrough film technologically speaking."
As Mr. Cameron says "You'll know you're not in Kansas anymore!"
