beautiful visual opera

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2009)

Avatar is a visual poem. It is not the story, but the way it is told that makes you feel what the director felt and let you have a beautiful experience. Even the critics reckon that the visual experience is extraordinary and this can not be told. It must be seen in a cinema, and best in the company your loved ones.
One can say that La Traviata has a poor, predictable story about a man and an ill women that can not be together. But if you know the story, you will not go to see it? Everything must be an epic today and we can not see lyric movies? When the starting speech of the colonel is pus out of focus, we are warned by Jack that we should not let our minds at ease and try to move out of the comfort of everyday speeches that tell us what to do. If you do this, you will the same beautiful experience that I did and enjoy the eye-opening final. Walt Disney's Snow White is released on Blu-ray 70+ years after it was created even if everybody knows the story, so we can also feel good when Neytiri wakes Jake with a kiss.
You must stop worrying about world or galaxy politics and economics and enjoy simple emotions. Fortunately, the director made this very easy and only the ones wondering if Snow White will get a divorce will not be able to feel the simple joy of flying free or the joy of walking barefoot into Pandora's forest.
You have to see it in 3D to fully understand what a great job James Cameron has done as a director. He is not showing off the technology like most in the industry now, but he understood that filming in a virtual environment he can do with the camera things that are impossible in the real world. So you will feel like you are running in the forest with the action, you will feel like flying with the action and you almost feel the smell of the forest. He understood also that 3D is not like the real world or a hologram, where the focus is where you set your eyes to look, and he used the focus combined with 3D in a creative way. And what a marvelous result! Thank you James Cameron for getting us a glimpse of what the holodeck must be feeling!
