Incredible Movie - Amazing visuals – An IMAX-cinema-must-see! London IMAX screenings extended into July!

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2010)

Avatar is one of the best cinematic experiences we've ever had so far – and, as regular cinema goers, we've had a lot of very good ones! It is an incredible movie with amazing visuals – try to see it in an IMAX cinema if you can, at least once, (even if you have already seen it in a regular cinema) to get the full effect! (BFI IMAX at Waterloo in London has extended the screenings of Avatar now until 10 July 2010. See their Website for details and to book.)
My son and I went to see Avatar at the British Film Institute (BFI) IMAX at Waterloo, here in London in January as a delayed Christmas treat, and we have been back since! It is truly, breathtakingly, awesome! A great film to see on any cinema screen - the CGI is out of this world - but imagine it filling a screen more than 20 metres high (That's nearly the height of five double-decker buses stacked on top of each other!) and 26 metres wide. With 11,600-watts of digital surround-sound and the most sophisticated motion-picture projection system in the world – we literally felt like we were 'in the picture'!
The story line, although transposed to another location, is very poignant and relevant to our times, and a warning to us today, as well as for the future. It evolves with sensitivity as the main protagonists' backgrounds are revealed, as they come to terms with the changing circumstances situations, and as the plot moved towards its conclusion.
A heartfelt thanks to all involved in the making of truly remarkable movie: we love it! And I'm sure that you will enjoy it too, and be uplifted! - And also be profoundly moved, and left with plenty to think about too, maybe even taking some positive actions as a consequence of what you have learnt, or because of what you have become more acutely aware of.
