I asked many who had seen this movie to describe their experience. They were out of words… Let me extend a helping hand…
“Fantastic, Outstanding, Spectacular, Fantabulous, Splendid, Extraordinary, Unusual, Marvelous, Golden, Phenomenal, Over The Top !!! ”
This is what each of you should have said.
I would say even more if you watch it at IMAX 3D, it is an out of the world experience; you have to see it to believe it.
Its increasing popularity has made it the fastest movie to reach the $1 billion mark at the box office (obviously; I had to wait for three weeks to get a decent seat).
Now let’s come to the storyline, does it have some thing equally extravagant to offer… well lets see…
Take the concept of another world from ‘Star Wars’, the bases of fighting for power – ring/stone from ‘Lord of the Rings’, the soul transporting ideology from ‘Matrix’, the thick forest implantation from ‘Jurassic Park’, the dragons that ‘Harry Potter’ defeated, the scary animals from ‘Dog Soldiers’, flying the magic carpet as per your thought like in ‘Aladdin’, the floating mountains from ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’, rules of adding new members into family from ‘Ants’, huge machinery for destruction from ‘Toy Story’, man driven robots like in ‘Transformer’, add the lessons from the Chinese belief of ancestor’s voice of help from trees, spice all this with some Indian epic colors, wrap into a digital bonanza and Voila! We have a release.
When James Cameron wrote the script way back in 1994 it was something all together different, then how come the dramatic change in the plot? Outsourcing – James released the script on the internet and was free for people to add. It’s a one big world, one big family and you should know how to make the best out of it.
All in all hats-off to James for being sensitive on the cinematography, the entire movie was developed to be ready for release in 2006, but at the end James canceled it all by saying that the technology hasn’t matured enough to match his imagination.
He re-shot it using his own reality camera system to film in 3-D. He used two high-definition cameras in a single camera body to create depth perception. Beautiful man... just incredible…
Would recommend watching this at the IMAX 3D screen only.
Njoy.
