So I finally got around to watch Avatar and did so in 3D which I think was a wise choice. So I didn’t go into the cinema with high expectations, I kind of knew what to expect going in. The movie wasn’t going to be a riveting storytelling masterpiece and the plot would be childish and heavy-handed and that’s exactly what I got. The story has been ridiculed and dissected in length so I can’t be bothered with it in this post.
So the effects where great and probably the best that has been seen on the big screen so far, but the 3D took a while to get used too. The pictures where blurry at the edges and there were so instances when they used shaky cam effects giving you POV. This had me worried as I have trouble from shaky cam effects and similar effects they make me motion sick and I have walked out of movie theatres before when It became too much for me too handle.
The story was very predictable and all in all well-told, no obvious storytelling mistakes. The effects where good probably the best I have seen on the big screen. I’m curious to see where the reinvented 3D will go from here, as most of the new movies will be in 3D from now on. And I have read about the new computer monitors and TV’s that will use the new 3D technology for home use, but they are very expensive but are predicted to drop rapidly in price towards the end of the year.
So I give the movie a 3 out of 5 rating or at 7 out of 10, this due to it was a well told story and not many obvious mistakes. So this blog post I stared it 3 weeks ago but anyhow here it is just to finish up my drafts.
My next project is to do a little write-up on the scenario “Ghost Light” that I ran last Friday and finished it in one sitting, even though I dragged it out a little, could probably have finished it a bit earlier.
