Well, we went and saw a little independent flick you may have heard of by an up-and-coming director…James Cameron I believe it was… What can I say. Wow.
This film has of course been marketed and hyped as the end-all-be-all of filmmaking. Does it really live up to the hype? Is it really the beginning of a new era in film?
I couldn’t tell ya. I didn’t take in the 3-D spectacle at a fancy-schmancy IMAX cinema. No, I went old school 2-D at the Caloundra mini-multiplex where the screens are a step beyond your modern home entertainment center, and I must say, this was an excellent movie.
The graphics are indeed superb, and the world these folks conjured up is breathtaking. What really makes this movie good though is much older than the technology used to make it, and that is the story. Here we are presented with a really good story which is executed superbly by a highly capable group of actors. This story, when combined with beautiful production makes for a real treat. It’s most definitely a film meant to be enjoyed on the large screen, so go. Go I say, and enjoy! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
