A new ‘Avatar’ for movie going experience ?
Posted by Guhan | Filed under movies
I managed to see the paid preview show of James Cameron’s much talked about, much hyped mega budget movie ‘Avatar’ and I was not Disappointed. As the protagonist says when he tries out his ‘Avatar’, “This is great!”, I had the exact same excitement. The movie is a visual treat. 3D movie experience has been given a whole new meaning. Most of the 3D or 4D movies I have seen the illusion being used to scare the audience. For the first time, I have seen a movie which has used technology to take the audience on a journey through fantastic landscapes and immense scale of an imaginary land.
But more I think about it, the movie is a bit too long and the story isnt special like ‘Terminator’ or the ‘Matrix’ movies.
I was glad it moved away from the cliche “Aliens attack helpless humans” SciFi formula. It the year 2154 when Humans are the more powerful and arrogant race, looking to plunder a peace loving world.
The movie is a technical breakthrough. It has a flat-out Green and anti-war message complete with a Pig headed Military head (no prizes for guessing !! ).
All the hype about the new language is lost in the visuals of the movie. As a matter of fact, the length of the movie and mediocre story line is also completely covered up by the sheer magnitude and brilliance of story telling and movie wizardry. Gamers will relate to the visuals and would like being in control of a character in Pandora.
“Avatar” stretches the bounds of the cinematic imagination. It shows us something we’ve never seen before: an entire alien world, a new and complex ecosystem rendered in three dimensions with dazzling fluidity and detail.
I am going to watch it again for sure, and I am definitely a fan of ‘Avatar’
