TIME TO BLOG ABOUT AVATAR
So I saw the midnight showing, which I hadn't really planned on doing because I was just a bit "meh" about everything and all the hype, but Matt took me and oh my god.
Just seriously, oh my god. I knew, intellectually, that it had gotten REALLY GOOD reviews, but holy shit, man. We saw it in 3-D and I've never been much of one for 3-D, but this is not your cheesy 3-D stuff with the red and blue glasses, this is AMAZING 3-D where you start forgetting that it's 3-D and just enjoy how gorgeous all the colors are in it and how it really does feel like you're almost there.
Pandora, the world it's set on, isn't like a lot of sci-fi worlds where you can see the really obvious inspiration from what we know, the creatures all having four legs, animals being trained, it really is a completely different and absolutely BEAUTIFUL world. The CG for the Nav'i (is that how it's spelled?) is so good that I, not having researched the film, really wasn't sure if it was CG or not. The acting was fantastic, the visuals were STUNNING and the story just...sucked you in, which may have been made easier by the fact that YOU FELT LIKE YOU WERE REALLY THERE. It was epic and heartwrenching and gorgeous. The ending is completely perfect and I would KILL to see this in 3-D IMAX. Just so you know. I imagine it would be AMAZING in IMAX, because the only thing I really could say is that the 3-D did end at the bottom of the screen, which made me sad, but you can't really do anything about that. Unless you're in IMAX. Do want.
It's not just something about blue furries either, it's got undertones of what it's like to be a character and really become that character, about spirituality, environmentalism, overcoming odds, doing what's right, it's a really inspiring film. It's like nothing you've seen before.
I'm not even kidding here, for something visually stunning? It won't do to just wait for this on DVD and watch it in the comfort of your living room, you have got to get the proper experience with this one. One of the things I've heard (and from seeing clips I can sort of verify), is that it's a great movie in 2-D, but in 3-D it's phenomenal. THAT I CAN AGREE WITH, dear god it was brilliant. So, really, you have to see it that way. At least once. Please, do me a favor and go see it? You will probably thank me. I hope.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH GOOD THINGS I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS MOVIE (WITHOUT RUINING IT FOR YOU ALL). I was flipping out at various points- very active movie watcher.
TRUST ME.
AVATAR = AMAZING.
