Avatar : It just keeps getting better!

Sunday, 10 January 2010

The first time I saw Avatar at Village in 3D I was impressed - the graphics were stunning, though I felt the story line was a little cliche, the characters overly stereotypical. The second time I saw Avatar was at Imax at the 3rd largest screen in the world (yes, I did feel a bit guilty about those 15000 watt lamps and the energy required)... I was inspired, awed and amazed. The creativity displayed in creating an entire culture, language and planet in Pandora was astonishing. Each little detail became increasingly evident, each glowing footprint, each flickr of the network built into the environment, each intensely stimulating selection of colours on the fluorescent planet, the ring in Nyteri's ear that made her appear more human than the other Na'avi, even the 2d photographs that appeared remarkably 3d for a moment. Who wouldn't want to live on a planet with floating magnetic islands, mystical trees where memories and thoughts could be downloaded, flying on brightly coloured teradactyl type creatures, sleeping in giant cocoon leaves and experiencing a deep and fulfilling connection to the environment? The movie is a creative masterpiece regardless of whatever the critics might say.
