When I was a wee lad in the 1980's, I'll always remeber watching Aliens for the first time with my folks on VHS. Wow! What a kick ass flick! Soon after wards, I'd be watching The Terminator as well with the family. One again, another kick ass flick!
Looking at the credits I recognized the director's name... James Cameron. He directed the two films which of course, rocked the world. Soon in theatres would be his next adventure, The Abyss. My father and I would goto that film together and we were blown away. The "special edition" cut of the film was superior but I enjoyed the "theatrical cut", especially going to see it with my dad. It's still one of our favourite films of all time.
Today, Avatar is wrapping up for Cameron. I read his scriptment for it ages ago. What I love about Cameron is that his written word and completed films have that classic science fiction feel to them. Avatar's read is exciting, emotional and greatly dramatic. He writes technically impressive possibilities and allows the audience to connect with the narrative's human drama with great characters. I'm so excited to see this flick in a month and you should be too.
A couple of recent videos have hit the net that will help pump you up. What's amazing is all the stuff with the Navi home world including the alien race, is ALL CGI and it's impressive stuff.
AWESOME! ENJOY!
