Avatar

3D Experience was breathtaking to say the least, James Cameron has set new benchmarks in movie-making. I understand why people aren’t happy with the story because it mirrors ‘Pocahontas’. PhillyD said it related to Tom Cruise’s, ‘Last Samurai’ which yes … you could say it does. Yes, it was predictable but Cameron wasn’t going for a twisted story plot, moreover he was going archetypal to solidify Avatar as a classic.

For 3 hours your just immersed into this new and exciting world of Pandora. Middle Earth doesn’t come close to the wonders Pandora has to hold. Not a single frame of the film looks like it’s ‘blue-screened’. Allot of the scenes where people are falling in films look fake, but it looks surreal in Avatar. I spent $20 watching it in IMAX 3D, but allot of reviews have hailed the Regular 3D experience was better because it had no ghosting at wider viewing angles.

I’m looking forward to revisiting Avatar when it comes out in Blu-Ray in a few months time. Michelle Rodriguez was herself as always. She’s like Will Smith, they make the films adapt to themselves. But Rodriguez may not have died, we know that her chopper went down, but she “could” still be alive.

The film ends with Jake Sully lives his life in his Avatar body rather than his crippled state.
