AVATAR: A Top 100 Movie of the Decade?

The London Telegraph published its list of the most defining 100 films of the last 10 years and a big surprise was the as-yet-unreleased Avatar at 100 thanks to the 15-minute preview reel available at press time."This ground-breaking 3D sci-fi epic will change the way we look at movies," the Telegraph wrote, putting it alongside other path-breakers from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Crash to The Dark Knight and Fahrenheit 9/11.

Blog reaction to the early honor was mixed, with some taking a wait-and-see attitude while others insist that everything James Cameron touches turns to gold. Daemon's Movies already rated Avatar their number-two Christmas movie this year, over The Lovely Bones and just under The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

I can completely agree. I'm not even going to take about the visual effects. Nonetheless, the story line and moral messages that the movie contains is what makes a great picture in my opinion. The visual effects are just an added bonus.

I dont care what people say..even if this movie may have a story with similar properties as other movies doesnt mean it ruins the whole movie! When I go see a movie..I look for a good story, plot, moral, and if its a movie with cgi.. lets hope its good cgi... This movie had everything! A little thrill,action,romance,drama,sci fi,story,moral, and cgi all packed into one! No im not an Avatard(person who is a big fan of Avatar) but I did enjoy it...alot...in fact when I walked out of the theater this movie shocked me more then Star Wars...the moral hit me like a ton of bricks..Im not a tree hugger but now after the movie i look at nature alittle diff now..great movie and yes it should be in the decades top list...or even in the all time movie list...God bless and take care!
