I’ve been waiting for Avatar for over a decade.

James Cameron wrote Avatar in three weeks in 1995 in such detail down to how the engines on the ships are structured, and how the chemical process that changes the texture of colors on the intricately designed Na’vi’s skin works.

This is his Scriptment from 1995 that goes into that level of detail. (It’s hard to believe I was just starting high school when I first got a look at it.)

This masterpiece of a work of art was not made by committee. Concept artists didn’t submit ideas for aliens, or how the ships would work. This man, who has invented new kinds of submarines, new kinds of cameras, and discovered new forms of life at the lowest depths of the ocean floor, had a vision, and worked to manifest it on screen.

When you go to see Avatar in Imax Digital 3D visit Pandora, what you will see and experience is the vision of one man, bringing to use a megaton of resources to let us look into his imagination and see what he sees, to every last detail.

This man has been making this movie for fifteen years. And it shows.

Yeah, the trailers look kind of stupid. Don’t worry about it- movie marketing is movie marketing. This movie is a thing of beauty.

I visited Pandora at 3:45am last night, and will be going back again soon.
