Avatar !!! The much awaited movie, I wanted watch in a big screen and finally on 18th december, I was invited to see it with my friends @ Finnkino 3D, Helsinki. Wow!!! I have always resented missing the original Star Wars on the big screen (the movie against which all other cinematic goundbreakers are measured). I was fortunate enough to catch some awe-inspiring "man" movies, like Tim Burton's Batman, the epic Braveheart, and the movies 300 and Gladiator. I saw both Titanic and Passion of the Christ both at theaters. I have never, however, been able to catch a truly pivotal, era-definitive movie at the theater - 3D, until tonight.
Okay, to be fair, let me define pivotal, or rather give examples. Try to think back to these times... do you remember what Pixar did for animated movies? Or what The Matrix did for action and fighting sequences? Or what Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon did for martial arts flicks? Each of these mentioned had one thing in common: they pushed the envelope. They raised the bar. Their producers and directors stepped way out of the box to create new standards in their movies' respective genres.
In the same way that the Wizard of Oz broke the boundaries of color films forever, so Avatar does for graphically-enhanced, visually-stimulating movies to follow. Avatar is an absolute must-see before it leaves the theaters.
It was fun to be along with a group of buddies to watch this movie.
