Avatar: 3D


This film goes way beyond anything James Cameron has done before in terms of imagination and time. Considering his film 'Titanic' took him 2 years to make, whereas the idea of 'Avatar' was developed an unbelievable 14 years prior to its release and it was only 4 years ago that technology was ready to actually make it. Seeing Avatar 3D is more of a virtual experience than a cinematic one. It was totally new and fresh and it was nothing like I've ever seen before, utterly unique.

Set in the twenty second century, it goes far beyond the imagination with the beautiful and frightening creatures created, the lush rainforests and enchanting 3D glowing effects was such a treat to see. The story creates a human/na'vi hybrid through genetic engineering (Avatar) which a living/breathing creatures controlled by a human driver who projects their consciousness via a technology which links their mind to an avatar body, leaving the'r human body in a coma-like state. A paralysed ex-marine who finds new found freedom in his Avatar body and soon falls in love with an Avatar and their culture. He now has to choose between fighting for the humans or the Avatars; predictable outcome, I agree. However James Cameron was ahead of his time creating this movie, it goes beyond movie making as we know it.

I would recommend this film to anyone to go and see on the biggest screen they can, and it has to be in 3D. You will not be disappointed.
