Ok...so pretty much everyone and their brother has seen Avatar....and there are a lot more people out there that have given in-depth reviews of it.  So I am just going to justify my 4 star rating...

The acting was sub-par...the script was lacking...BUT....

Watching it on Blu-ray was fabulous!!!!  Technology has come such a long way...which brings up my main argument...or question...

If this movie was made 10 years ago, when the technology was not available...would we all think so highly of this movie?

Yes, it was entertaining and I wasn't bored...but should it go down as one of the best films ever?  No.

That is all.
