Avatar. A classic in it's own right already...maybe. But definitely a major step forward in the genre. Why do we like Avatar so much. For a slew of reasons:
1- Avatar is basically the next step in the Computer Graphics standard. Especially using all the tricks of the trade in the creation of virtual creatures/characters with true emotions comning through the screen.
2- For the amateurs of the sub-genre "giant robots" it is way cool how they integrate the mechs in this environment. Very well done. Guess now the tech is ready to give us real life gundamns (japanese mechs in manga/anime) that dont look like transformers. In passing worth noting the excellent work in the imagining of all the ships, technologies of the movie. The attention to details on computer interfaces is most credible.
3- Same attention to details with the creation of the world called Pandora which makes it even more pleaseant to live there for a few hours. The biggest kudo goes to the imagining of the biology of the planet on land, sea and air as well as the plants. This is really what makes this movie as such a leap forward compared to past efforts. Here we truly see the excellent mindset of our canadian fellow James Cameron and his devotion ot the study of the oceans and it's life.
4- Wait i am not finished. The movie title points us to the greatest tech put in film for this adventure: the concept of Avatar. This is the extreme limit of the old concept of virtual reality. Why wear a suit when you can wear a creature's body. Making use of a paraplegic character to highlight this makes it even more emotional.
5- casting very good, script and story very good but a bit deja vu as many have said previously. But frankly i never saw a movie which wins on so many sides so can we not be too difficult.
6- oh, almost forgot. This was the groundbreaker movie for 3D in the new flavor. Yes i saw it in the Theater in 3D. Did not enjoy the glasses so much but the 3D was quite good. Having seen it in Blu Ray 2D now. I cant say I missed the 3D so much. But hey, another big plus for Avatar here.
Avatar may not be the greatest movie of all time as many would like it to be; but it certainly is amongts the top sci-fi movies you will ever see. Will it stand up to others like star-wars, blade runner, alien, etc... only time will tell but i would not worry if I was Cameron.
Question is after having made us discover the world of the deep sea with the Abyss, the remains of the Titanic, the future robots with Terminator and wonderful alien worlds what will he come up with next? Rumors mention he may have a hand in the fantastic voyage later this year. Cant wait to see how he would treat the human body as the next frontier.
For any movie director reading this (I know they are all secretely reading my blog (...) The duo of Sigourney Weaver and Michelle Rodriguez THIS IS a WINNER. Please bring it back in another context that would be kick ass.
Avatar. Il faut voir pour les images extraordinaires et la maniere dont Cameron a reussi a nous creer un monde entier qui demeure credible. Il faut voir pour son apport a la qualite des images CG, pour les techno super, la biologies et la botanie fantastique de ce monde nomme Pandore. Les script et l'histoire ne sont peut etre pas a la hauteur d'un film aussi bien ficele mais on lui pardonne pour tous ces autres apports. Et n'oublions pas le 3D nouvelle sauce qui est bien en salle mais pas necessaire surtout avec le tres beau transfer Blu ray execute. J'ai bien hate de voir la prochaine invention de Cameron. La rumeur dit qu'un remake moderne du voyage fantastique (a l'interieur du coprs humain) est sur la planche. Je ne peux attendre!
