Avatar, a 3D IMAX Experience
Dec. 25th, 2009 07:19 pmI've just returned from seeing Avatar, 3D, IMAX and wow. Just amazing effects. The 3D experience really gets you immersed into the entire setting. And some amazing scenery on top of it. It's been said by a lot of others, it's easy to forget you're looking at computer generated images. And the 3D *isn't* overdone, it's just right.
My only issue was I do have this fear of heights which was triggered a few times in the movie. But I was able to (most of the time) lose myself in the movie.
The plot, as mentioned by others, not deep. Dances with Wolves, Pocahontas, Medicine Man take your pick.
The one thing I really came away with was the desire to have fiber optic hair and a horse I can interface with. I know, I know. Hair would be an upgrade.
From a purely visual effects aspect, those of us without rock hard bodies could be leading men with this stuff. I'm looking forward to the DVD release for I'm sure there will be a lot of behind the scenes extras and I'm really interested in that. Might wind up being the final excuse to buy a BluRay player.
