<p>KANEOHE, Hawaii (AP) — President Barack Obama's family is watching the movie "Avatar."</p>
<p>The Obamas visited a movie theater near their rented vacation home in Hawaii on Thursday morning for a screening of the sci-fi spectacular. Officials say the first family had the theater to themselves to watch director James Cameron's tech-heavy film.</p>
<p>The Obamas, including first daughters Sasha and Malia, left their compound before noon on New Year's Eve. Before the screening, Obama, a self-described movie buff, worked out at the Marine Corps base nearby.</p>
<p>The Obamas are set to return to Washington in the new year.</p>
