James Camerons’ Avatar is a truly amazing experience. Donning my 3D glasses, I joined my son, and a packed audience to experience this extraordinary achievement in film making.

It takes creativity to a whole new level and, like everyone else after three hours I simply wanted to join Jake, Neytiri and the rest of the Na’vi on Pandodra. The whole beauty of the Tree of Life scenes did it for me.

This is power filled entertainment at its very best, delivered with a strong cultural and spiritual message -  the way the Na’vi bond with the earth and its creatures is ingenious.

I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, who has not yet had the pleasure of experiencing this amazing achievement in movie making. You will also want to cheer and shout for joy! Whatever your age it is imaginative absorbing filmmaking of the highest order. Now we have our 3D glasses we’re sure to be going again soon. Can’t wait!
