Pandora’s blue box.

Why should you go see Avatar by James Cameron, right now?

– Because even if the movie is not the expected ‘revolution’, it’s still a fine piece of work with a perfect narrative structure from the start to the end, leaving a deep pessimism regarding the human race.
– Because the 3D immersion is a brilliant experience and you will want to go back to the world of Pandora.
– Because James Cameron meets Terrence Malick who meets Hayao Miyazaki who meets David Lean who meets James Cameron.

Runners up :The Road by John Hillcoat and Where The Wild Things Are by Spike Jonze.
