Avatar: Good but not so
I just saw Avatar, the latest film from James Cameron to date, mention the name of Cameron, because he wrote, produced and directed. Other films in his filmography are Alien, Terminator and Titanic, as time tends to have impact, good or bad.
Avatar, Avatar. What I say.
It’s a nice story, an epic film, with lots of computer generated images, and a super production.
The story is set in Pandora, a planet / moon is inhabited by natives who appear blue humanoid apes 3 meters (the Na’Vi or so), who live peacefully as nature loving hippies, and comes after the white man want to explore the riches of the area, and voila, here the plot.
As has become customary in recent cinema, first showing us how horrible we are as a civilized society that destroys the world (in this case, not even our world), on the other hand puts us a story of infatuation with the typical “First I had a mission but then I really fell in love” and of course brings us a series of battle scenes to put flavor to the broth.
Although the story is somewhat predictable, if you go along is welcome to follow. Always bearing in mind that it’s fantasy, because they lack the reading “but it is impossible to float a rock, physics says bla bla bla …”
Visually, I liked a lot, and perhaps influence what I think as a graphic designer, I suppose so, “but this has enough weight on Avatar, a lot, and from that point of view is a good product.
Better than the last two films I saw (2012 and student), but still prefer Star Trek as’ film of the year.
What I liked is that the Avatar too spectacular said things like “film that comes to revolutionize the cinema”, “the new production of James Cameron after he waited 12 years for new technology”, “a 3D experience unimaginable” Finally, all that sort of phrases that created expectations too high, not that it is bad, it’s a good movie but nothing of this world.
Visually it’s beautiful, historical fantasy / fiction ordinary (nothing new under the sun) but entertaining. Is one which I recommend to see in the movies. On the other hand, do not think it has made good use of the 3D except for few scenes.
And to put the cherry on the cake, is that there are already people who are learning to speak the native language of the movie because the director told him to structure the language a linguist would use in the film, with grammar and the whole thing both people are already creating new words for this “beautiful language” in an online community … I do not know what to think of it, but once you want to learn Na’Vi.
