A lot of things immediately come to mind when moviegoers hear the name "M. Night Shyamalan," and whatever you think of him, there's no denying that as a filmmaker, he is constantly trying to break through new boundaries. That's something that's never been truer than with his latest, The Last Airbender, based on the Nickelodeon cartoon "Avatar: The Last Airbender." Besides being Shyamalan's first movie not based on one of his own original ideas, it's his first fantasy movie not set in our world as well his first full-on action and effects movie, complete with some brilliant work from visual FX supervisor Pablo Helman and Industrial Light & Magic.
