Avatar | Once Over Review

Today, I’m putting on my Sunday best, rolling up my sleeves, and stepping up onto my soapbox. I have a simple message, but one that must be heard by the masses, the bench warmers, the fence sitters. A word for the indecisive, the indifferent, and everyone else who has not seen Avatar yet...

“Leave your homes, leave your wives, husbands and children. Do not pack heavy bags which will burden you and likely be checked for food which you can’t bring on this journey for some reason. But food shall be provided. Popcorn shall rain down upon you; imitation butter and soda will flow like mighty rivers.

But Make Hast! For a time is coming when this land will disappear like the morning dew, here today and gone tomorrow. So rise up! Men and Woman, young and old, pretty and ugly. In this land surely, you all belong. In short....

Go see Avatar. Like... NOW!

Here’s your three reasons why you have to get off your ass and go see this movie, if you haven’t already. Even if you have, you should probably see it again at least one more time.

1.Breakthrough Technology. The 3D is stunning, mind-blowing, and beautiful. This is SO important because this movie has now redefined how a movie is experienced. It has done what sound did to the silent film, and colour did for black and white.

And you might be reading this thinking this guys out to lunch, 3D will never be the norm for movies. Well, you might be right. But, at the very least, I think it’s safe to say we’re going to be see a lot more movie’s being made in 3D, and Avatar has just set the standard. And since you can only see it 3D in the theaters, you have to go now!

2.Contrary to some critiques I’ve heard on Avatar, the story line is actually really solid. There’s good character development, some really heart wrenching moment, and it is quite thought provoking. Honestly, I would watch this movie again on DVD, even without the 3D. Now, I think it goes without saying that the special effects aspect of this movie is front and centre, but what I’m saying is that there is still a solid story line behind that.

3.And finally, you get to see you crazy alien people get freaky, jungle style.

Worth the price of admission right there if you ask me.

Avatar get’s an 8.5/10 fore groundbreaking, and breath-taking special effects with a respectable story. You absolutely need to go see this movie in 3D while you still can. And make sure you see it in a decent theater, or iMax if you can. You will not be disappointed.

Cheers
