Avatar - I finally saw it and you should too


Okay...here's the skinny.

A few posts back I gave my opinion on the Post Avatar Depression some movie goers seem to be suffering from after leaving movie theaters across the country....the world, actually.

My 8 year old son and I went to see Avatar last night....all 160+ minutes of it! I thought Jake would fall asleep at least an hour and a half into it but to my surprise he lasted through the entire thing.

My nephew was a different story. He was snoring so loud I thought my fellow movie watchers were going to call security to have the poor 6 year old thrown out on his light up sneakers.

Long story short...it was an excellent movie. If anyone that takes almost 3 hours out of their day to watch it, the only feelings they should leave with are contentment and the sincere knowledge of knowing whatever the cost for tickets, popcorn, candy and sodas....was money well spent.

Without giving the story away....you'll feel a bit of sorrow, anger, jubilation and amazement. Depression never entered into the mix.

So, God bless those suffering from the Post Avatar Depression. I hope they find the help they need. Help they evidently needed prior to seeing this awesome movie.
