I…I…I’m not sure what to say. (- Literally Speechless.) It seemed to affect everyone differently. Some dismissed it, most loved it. I really loved it. It just suited me, it felt familiar almost. I think it is quite suited to my imagination, like one reviewer once said, it was almost like being in a dream.

Words: Outstanding, beautiful, emotional, stunning, heart-breaking, funny.

I do feel lucky to be one of the first to ever see it, I am so ridiculously happy right now. Incredible.

Going to see it again? Only about another 6 times.

The hype and discussion was making it out to be another 3D film. Albeit a legendary one. However I agree with James Cameron (the director), it really isn’t about the 3D, the story enthrals you, binds you and the world is incredibly immersive, almost real.

I will add, the 3D makes it even more immersive, you are really there, you see all that the director wants you see. So stunning. There are no gimmicky bullets coming out of the screen, its all about the depth, the realism….

That will have to do until I get my head together. Take his and my word for it, GO SEE IT! (IN 3D).

To quote a friend:

Just came back from a pre-premier 3D viewing of Avatar.
It was a sheer blast and impossible to describe with words as the experience is something I have never witnessed before.
Seriously, don’t watch this anywhere else than in a 3D cinema! You will realize for the first time what it means to really get immersed into a fantastical world.

For those who don’t know, James Cameron developed a new 3D stereoscopic camera system (’Virtual Camera’) that allows him to see his actors turned into CG characters and set in CG environments in real-time while shooting and also lends extensive 3D depth to the images. CG effects are no longer an exclusive part of post-production that need to be inserted afterwards but can be viewed and altered during shooting according to the director’s and actors’ needs.

And now look forward to seeing it on the big screen in 3D (and nowhere else…)!

Time to be harsh about stuff, and things.

Films & Movies

Avatar - Not Released.

If this film is anywhere near as good as I think it will be and as the 14 years or so it has had to improve says it will be, then I am going to need several note pads to even begin to explain to you all the subtleties and amazing work that has gone in to this film. I will review it with a summary later if your interested.

Pre-Watch Score: 10/10 (Don’t expect this to decrease either.)

Follow the link for oh so many more long reviews. (Oh joy…).

I have been looking all over for the Simpsons movie soundtrack. I finally found it.

Spider Pig.

Shame really, I didn’t get to do much this year. I earned money though and that’s always a plus. I head back down to Edinburgh around the 8th of September to a new flat and new flat mates. Should be an interesting year, it could be quite hard.

On another note, check out these videos of 2 games and a film coming soon.

-Final Fantasy XIV: Here.
-Guild Wars 2: Here.

And one of the most important films for me for the past few years:

-Avatar: Here.

They are probably the biggest marks on my radar this year.

Some other great films are District 9 and possibly Moon. Some of the other games are Final Fantasy XIII, Starcraft 2, Borderlands and Rage.

Lessons learned recently: Don’t try to taste test drinks in a bar while hungover. Too much alcohol.
