Words cannot express the glory that is this movie. I just saw it and let me tell you it blew me away. Just spectacular. I was originally going to wait to write this post until I had had time to calm down a bit and sleep away a bit of my excitement but I just can't wait to tell you how great this movie really is. My hands are shaking that's how good the movie is.

Now I know what you're thinking, "yeah yeah, I'm sure it's great but it's in 3D which usually sucks...etc etc."

You HAVE to go see it in 3D! When people talk about how this is a new breed of 3D movie - how this movie will change the face of the cinema in the same way that Talkies did and technicolor they are not lying or even exaggerating. I have never been a fan of 3D movies but I am telling you I was ducking out of the way of things in my seat. I was reaching out to touch things that were between me and the screen.

And what a movie to put into 3D - fantasies were made for this new .. new .. I don't even know what to call it .. new genre of film. It is so hard when you are creating an entirely new world to take people there, to really get them to see it and believe it, and when you're reaching out to touch these new magnificent plants that you've never seen or imagined before - you're there. This movie was like a dream come true for me. All my life I've wanted to experience a new world - when I was a child I wanted to be an explorer and at the very least discover an island never before seen by man. I decided that I wanted to be a fantasy writer so that I could create new worlds and share this passion, this desire that circulates through my very being with other people ... and this movie did that for me. It actually took me to a new world, a beautiful beautiful new world.

Go see it. Go experience it. You won't regret it. Your imagination will thank you.

  1. I was dragged into the cinema to see this today. Very low expectations I had. I was so wrong to resit! Like you, I could see it again!

    Isn't 3D an awesome experience. The first time I saw anything in 3D, the woman in the seat next to me (a stranger) grabbed my hand as all us adults screamed and jumped back in our seats. The kids seemed to just accept it.

    Happy New Year to you.
