James Cameron's Avatar (2009) is a brilliant film and became the first movie to gross more than $2 billion. It was nominated for nine Academy Awards in 2009, but won three (Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects) because of it's stunning visuals.

    Those were impressive! Especially as some of them never appeared in the movie.

    I've never seen Avatar. I know! Total geek fail! I have no doubt the visuals are dazzling.


    Cameron certainly has a gift for making films that sell.

    It's absolutely gorgeous A.S. Some complain about the story,  but no one can argue it's a beautiful film.
