If you missed Avatar on the first go round (James Cameron’s version, not M. Night’s), you’re in luck. Cameron’s record-setting blockbuster is returning to the IMAX 3D screen starting August 27th and will play for two weeks.

This version of the film will include an additional eight minutes of footage to entice the folks who have already seen the movie into a second viewing. Personally I’d see it again either way. While the story wasn’t great, watching that movie was a little window into a fascinating future. If only the second round of Star Wars movies did that.

The sales are no surprise, especially after you see the movie. Sure, it took as much as $500 million to make, but once you see the film it’s clear why. The best way I’ve been able to describe it to anyone who asks is that Avatar is like a window into the future. It is what movies will aspire to be in five years. The CGI is so immersive that its easy to forget you’re seeing computer animation. The 3D effects aren’t the cheesy, “oh my god it’s coming for my face,” flavor. Instead, they add an insane level of realism to what might otherwise look like fake scenes.

If you haven’t gone to see it, see it. If you have seen it, check it out in IMAX and leave a comment about your experience. Unfortunately there are no IMAX theaters anywhere close to me.
