Holy schmoley, Batman: AVATAR rocks the world!

If you haven't seen it, don't miss it. Yes, you'll likely see the plot development a mile away, but the execution is exquisite, the universe created is breathtaking, and the art form of "motion capture" in the 3-D world as we know it has just taken one giant leap into a new dimension -- this is a paradigm shift in the special effects cosmos and motion capture will never be the same. Forget about lame attempts such as Beowulf and the awkward efforts of 3-D to date to master motion capture and make animated humanoids "realistic." To date, their mouths were inadequately made to create the illusion, their eyes could not express emotions, their facial "muscles" all but didn't electronically exist. AVATAR has changed the game, invented all new rules, thrown out the umps and the refs that said it couldn't be done. Find out for yourself!
