Avatar Movie Review

avatarposterterus

Watching James Cameron’s Avatar in IMAX was one of the best decisions my colleagues made.  I was just so glad I was able to join them as Avatar is the best full 3D movie I have watched so far!

It’s like all of James Cameron’s knowledge when it comes to science fiction & technology was put into the movie, Avatar.  I can’t think of anything else they can improve on to make the movie better.  It’s perfect as it is for me.  Besides, my golly it’s in full 3D!

I actually feel that watching a whole movie in 3D can make you feel dizzy as I felt it a bit when I watched Battle of Terra before.  With Avatar, I totally dismiss the dizzy part as the movie is superb!  I mean it’s just full of awesomeness!  You all SHOULD really catch this on 3D theaters, if not, then you are truly missing BIG time!

Avatar started when humans were colonizing Pandora, a moon.  The humans are there because they want to mine a little gray rock worth 20 million a kilo.  The problem is the blue skinned Na’vi who are indigenous beings living on Pandora, have their village on the largest deposit.  What we know at the start of the movie, the Na’vi had been living harmoniously with their environment but humans couldn’t breathe the Pandoran air.   Human scientists were able to genetically engineer human-Na’vi hybridizing.  They call them avatars so humans can use these avatars to be able to visit the world.

Avatar is the classic story of the strong preying on the weak and it is up to a few good men and women to fight for something they believe in.

I will not share the whole story coz I don’t wanna spoil it.  I suggest you watch this in 3D theaters, even though it is a bit more expensive.  Don’t watch it in 2D, believe me, watching it in 3D is well worth every cent.

I can really say that Avatar is an amazing movie.  The characters were very believable.  The music was perfect. the action scenes and the casting were flawless.  I highly recommend that you go watch this movie!  It is ssssoooo good!

My rating for Avatar: 5 out of 5 stars.

Battle for Terra Movie Review

4025716857_9e3a832201

Last night was the premiere of Battle for Terra at SM North Edsa.  I’d like to thank Jonel for giving me his tickets!  It was the 1st time for me to watch a movie in full 3D!  Wohoo great job SM Cinemas!

Now I know the feeling of watching a movie that makes you feel like you’re not watching a movie per se.  Watching a movie in 3D, IMHO draws you closer to the film.  To add to that, the movie had amazingly clear images & cool surround sound!  That made the experience even more awesome!

Battle for Terra was a 2007 animated film that won the Grand Prize for best animated feature at the 2008 Ottawa International Animation Festival.  It was originally shown as 2D but was rendered in full digital 3D.  The movie is currently and exclusively shown at all SM Digital theater branches nationwide (regular showing will begin on October 21, 2009).

The story had a different twist into the human-alien movie.  This time it is the humans who invaded a peaceful alien planet (Terra).  Will an unlikely friendship between a human and an alien help the 2 races stop a war & help them coexist before it is too late?

I really liked how they turned the tables & gave us a different perspective on aliens experiencing invasion. I liked how the twist is the aliens are the ones being invaded; truly unique and i find that makes the movie more interesting. I will not share the story, but I suggest you watch it. Winning the best animation award isn’t for nothing right?
