Avatar 3D
Feb 17th
Avatar is proberlly one of the most talked about films right now. Especially in its 3D format.
Avatar is a 2009 American science fiction epic film written and directed by James Cameron and starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez and Stephen Lang. The film is set in the year 2154, when humans are mining a precious mineral called unobtanium on Pandora, a lush moon in Alpha Centauri.
Avatar earned $3,537,000 from midnight screenings domestically (United States and Canada), with the initial 3-D release limited to 2,200 screens.[152] The film earned $27 million on its opening day, and $77 million over its opening weekend, making it the second largest December opening ever behind I Am Legend,[3][18] and the 25th largest national United States weekend opening,[3] despite a blizzard which blanketed the East Coast of the United States and reportedly hurt its opening weekend results.[12][18][19] The IMAX opening also broke box office records, with 178 theaters generating approximately $9.5 million, 13% of the film’s $73 million (at the time) domestic gross on less than 3% of the screens.
The film never focuses on one thing for too long which makes it great to watch. Nothing is missed out but also your not watching something you really don’t need to be watching. You can tell what has happened and how it went without having to watch a long drawn out scene.
I have never heard anything bad about this movie and is supposed to be the next best thing to the Titanic Movie. With it already breaking major records and i’m sure it will go on to take awards.
With it also being in 3D, its much easier to feel part of the movie and part of the scene which makes the film take off to another dimension. You suddenly loose all sense of where you are and the fact your actually sitting in the back of the cinema in some silly glasses.
I think this will be one of the movies they will be demoing in shops for the promotion of 3D TV. Which is a major point at the moment with the release of Sky HD 3D and the PS3 3D update coming in June.
If you have not seen the movie make sure you see it! 3D or not it will be fantastic and will not disappoint!
