Avatar…

In my opinion Avatar totally lives up to the hype. I saw it today and I was blown away.

The world they’ve created is great. The Na’vi are really cool. It’s very “Cowboys and Indians”, but who cares.

For me, the mark of a good action/fantasy film is that I want to come out of the cinema wishing it was real and I was there. I came out of Iron Man and I wanted to be Iron Man. I came out of Avatar and I wanted to be a Na’vi, so it did the job for me. :)

I saw the 3D version. Some of the scenes worked really well in 3D, some not so well. I’m not convinced about the whole 3D thing. It feels more like a gimmick than necessary for the cinema experience.

Irrespective of that, it was a great film. Can’t wait for the DVD. I think it will join the list of films I watch on a regular basis.

Cheers

Tim…

    I saw it in 3D IMAX. Personally I think it is an ultimate experience. :-)

    The story behind the scene (http://www.sonyinsider.com/2009/12/18/state-of-the-art-3d-experience-presented-in-avatar/) is very interesting. I’m impressed with director’s vision. He’s had a vision of the story even before the technology was available.

    If you get a chance, go see the new Sherlock Holmes: totally worth your time, IMHO.
    And totally different from the traditional Hollywood image of the character, much more in accordance with the book’s original.
