LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Director James Cameron's long-awaited "Avatar" wowed critics at its London premiere on Thursday, with some early reviewers calling it "jaw-dropping," "mind-blowing" and a game-changer in Hollywood for its digital effects.
The 3D epic adventure by the director of 1997 blockbuster "Titanic" is one of the most expensive films ever at a cost of about $400 million to make and market. It begins its worldwide launch next week, hitting U.S. theaters on December 18.
If initial reviews and Twitter buzz are any indication, it may be money well spent for film studio 20th Century Fox.
"James Cameron has proven his point: He is king of the world," raved showbiz newspaper The Hollywood Reporter.
