It was fate that brought us to the sneak peek of AVATAR, even way before it was released, thanks to a dear distributor friend of ours at 20th Century Fox. I think it was some time last year. Leaving Patrick and myself all drooling and still in shock over what we had just seen on the big screen (it was such a short trailer but a damn AMAZING ONE!), we had to wait patiently for the release of the full length version as it was not until early this year that we got a taste of the REAL deal! Such cruelty but fortunately a good one as we ended up watching the film three times and still could not get enough of it. Now, we are patiently waiting for the more extensive version of AVATAR in blu-ray. The imaginative world of AVATAR is definitely one to behold and the acute attention to details in the film obviously reflects the high standards and demands of the director himself, James Cameron. For instance, not until the third watching that only I discovered the Na'vi tribe has only four fingers! The box-office smash hits aside, this epic science fiction motion picture truly embodies the perfect marriage of great storytelling and impeccable 3-D animation technology (substance and style), it keeps you entertained right up till the end and still wonders how on earth he manages to pull this off with such magical touch and wonders of a world called Pandora, is beyond my understanding. Absolutely a visionary director, this film is definitely one of my most favourite films this year and what a fantastic way to begin a brand new year!
