Yes, we realize that Avatar has been playing since December 18, so we're a little late with our review. That being said, the film has created a wave of hype and criticism, plus won several awards, so we decided to review it anyway. Way back in mid-December, my family and I had screening passes for three different movies on the same night: "Up in the Air," "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" and "Avatar". We chose to see "Up in the Air," which ended up being a great movie. I forgot about "Avatar" until it came out, and it was then that practically everyone on my Facebook news feed posted either "OMG AVATAR!!! GO SEE IT! IT'S RIDICULOUSLY GOOD!" or "Avatar is just a revamped Pocahontas." Moreover, "Avatar" won a Golden Globe for best Drama last week, further piquing my interest. So when a friend of mine wanted to see a movie this past weekend, I suggested "Avatar."
