The long awaited blockbuster from director James Cameron<\/a> is a remarkable visual achievement and a thrilling sci-fi drama.<\/p>\n Anticipation over what Avatar<\/a><\/strong> would be has reached fever pitch in recent months as speculation mounted: Would the 3D change the way audiences see cinema? Why did it cost so much? What’s with all the blue aliens? And why is it called Avatar?<\/p>\n The less than ecstatic reaction<\/a> in various quarters to the trailers and preview footage in the summer, combined with some sluggish tracking numbers<\/a>, were probably enough to make folks at 20th Century Fox a little nervous.<\/p>\n But the simple fact is that Avatar really delivers. For the 163 minute running time it takes you on an adventure and into a different world with all manner of thrilling sights and sounds.<\/p>\n
