I've seen James Cameron's Avatar in 3D, twice already. I was blown away by the first viewing and absolutely enjoyed the experience even more the second time around. What a beautiful story, set in a world created from Cameron's imagination.
From the script to the effects to the actor's performances, everything is polished. Cameron is a master of his craft. The care in detail can be seen in every frame.
Some of the best compliments I can give...
First, it didn't need to be in 3D. The film is amazing and gorgeous on it's own. The story is epic and characters are wonderful. Seeing Pandora in 3D however, is breathtaking, awesome stuff. It's like the ultimate bonus to an already magnificent film. So the film is solid and it isn't a gimmick like the upcoming Piranha 3D.
Second, the 3D effect was seamless. I have a stigmatisim and when I saw Coraline in 3D, the effect worked 75% of the time. Coraline is a wonderful movie, I could care less that it's in 3D but again, it's like an added bonus. Avatar's 3D was 100% working all the time. My eyes never shifted out, nor did I feel exhausted.
Avatar is amazing. It's good, old fashioned storytelling in a phenominal, living and breathing world. You better check it out 3D before it's gone. Every mainstream, big budgeted Hollywood flick should be in 3D now. Crossing my fingers, hoping that the upcoming The Hobbit films will be done that way.
