Quote: "Through out my history of cinema, I can count only a few times when my experience of sitting in a theater watching a movie made me think: this is something new, a sensation I’ve not encountered before.

The first of those times was back in 1968 when as a 14 year-old I sat in wonder gazing at the huge curved screen of the futuristic Century 21 Theater in San Jose, California, overwhelmed by the majesty of Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I had a similar, though somewhat less powerful, experience in 1977 while watching Star Wars for the first time, and again in 1993 when I saw Jurassic Park. I remember saying at the time that while Jurassic Park was certainly not a great movie, it was one hell of a fun amusement park ride.  That’s sort of the point when you become immersed in the film Avatar.

It’s not just that James Cameron’s smash new hit, Avatar, is not as good a movie as 2001 or Star Wars. It’s that I can’t even describe my experience of seeing Avatar in 3D as going to see a movie. It was ... different ... much more like being inside a video game or a virtual reality environment.

To me, that’s the most significant thing Cameron has achieved with his latest blockbuster. He has created something that, for me at least, feels wholly new."

Quote: "AVATAR takes us to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on an epic adventure, ultimately fighting to save the alien world he has learned to call home."

Quote: "If you did not like the films experience, I can only ask why?  You might not have let yourself enjoy the experience or you went with the notion it was not a good film, in my opinion the film critics missed the point of the film, it is a new movie experience.  See it twice, once on a flat 2d screen ,and then in 3d to enjoy the movie a second time to see what you missed with the additional excitement of this new style presentation."
