I've had a really rubbish few days. We've slept so late this week and been so lazy first thing that it's nearly 4pm by the time we're dressed. I'm not getting anything done and it's because Stuart's off. We're taking the time to chill out but I had such great plans for these two weeks and they're already a quarter finished.
But before I start on tomorrow's objectives, I just have to tell you about Avatar. We saw it in the IMAX at the Odeon last night and I am still reeling. Avatar may just be the greatest film I have ever seen and I do not use terms like that lightly.
Let me stress that I was aware that there was hype about Avatar. I've known about it's existence for a while now but I really wasn't too bothered. There was this talk about it being a "game-changer" etc. but all I read into that was that too many fanboys were getting hyped up over what would turn into your average sci-fi action flick.
How wrong I was.
I won't give away the plot but suffice to say that I was totally blown away. The graphics, the sound, the story, the characters, the music (oh yes, despite it being James Horner on top recycling form!) aided by the 3D effects. It was incredible. As the credits rolled, I sat there in stunned silence when the auditorium moved around me. I wondered if they'd had the same life-changing experience I had. Yes, I know it's just a movie but it felt like more.
Writing this, I wonder if the 3D visuals had more to do with this than your average film but in any case it doesn't matter. I would go, and I will go, time and time again. It was just amazing, incredible and all those superlatives. My review of Avatar is meaningless: just go.
