AVATAR!

Mega cool movie, in fact that's under selling it this movie has redefined my preconceptions of film.  It did change things after all.  I remember when I first heard about this and being like 'Avatar is the name of that cartoon though!' but that thing sucks in comparison to this visual masterpiece.  Its such a beautiful film from start 'til finish.  The scenery is breathtaking, the combat visceral (but not overplayed, and most certainly not overshadowing the true heart of this film which is the world itself) and the story comfortably familiar and predictable.  Yes its an effects movie but because of it you're just so involved in the scenes, the cameras they used being specially designed to mimic the workings of the human eye capturing totally realistic reflections and highlights.  Best mocap ever. 

Probably more to come.
