Avatar

Okay, this has nothing to do with food or Shreveport for that matter.  I went to see Avatar on opening night.  I've been wanting to watch it since seeing the previews.  Okay, make fun of me for wanting to watch blue aliens on the big screen.  Although it hasn't exactly gotten the best reviews, and although it has been a bit hokey, I thought it did not disappoint.

Cameron was successful at bringing you into this completely alternate world with outstanding visuals and colors and where the humanoids are interconnected with nature.  I thought he did a nice job of making the audience part of and invested in that world.  The general outcome is pretty predictable, but the visuals keep things interesting.

I didn't watch the "making of" until after I saw the movie, but it is pretty remarkable the lengths that Cameron went to to make the movements of the animation so fluid and lifelike.

For an entertaining night if you have 3 hours to spare...go watch Avatar
