James Cameron summed up the message of this film best in his acceptance speech at the Golden Globe awards: " 'Avatar' asks us to see that everything is connected, all human beings to each other, and us to the Earth. And if you have to go four and a half light years to another, made-up planet to appreciate this miracle of the world that we have right here, well, you know what, that's the wonder of cinema right there, that's the magic..." Talk about New Consciousness! This film is magic. It returned me to a state of childlike wonderment. Cameron has created a world of incredible beauty and innocence on the one hand and savagery and survival on the other - much like our own - where you must understand and respect all living things, before you can live in safety and harmony. This electrifying adventure story breaks all precedent for cinematic effects. Seeing it in 3-D amazing if you can, but see it you must! Was this review helpful to you?

AVATAR is unlike any other film ever made and provides a glimpse into the potential of film to literally immerse the viewer in the story. Only peer jealousy could prevent James Cameron (TITANIC) from winning another Oscar for Best Director. The spiritual metaphors of AVATAR are also truly dazzling. Aren’t all of us as humans truly avatars? Spiritual beings temporarily inhabiting human bodies while our spirits evolve? Some day, the technology of AVATAR will be used (sans violence) by filmmakers to take us much further into the spiritual journey of our souls. Into the dreams we call illusion and the illusions we call reality. Into the awe and wonder of this majestic, mysterious, and mystical adventure that we call life. Into a new world of Spiritual Cinema.
