While we were in London over New Years, we caught the much hyped about new movie by James Cameron – Avatar.

Like many, I had high expectations for this film. The media/publicity generated around this film was so intense, it was impossible not to expect anything less from Mr Cameron. I wasn’t a bit fan of Titanic (slept through half of it) and I’m not much into computer generated imagery (CGI) & heavily graphic dependent films. So really, all signs point to the fact that I probably will not like this film.

However, low and behold, I  was impressed! It was breath-taking! I managed to watch the entire film and was on the edge of my seat throughout.

If you like special effects and totally new computer generated graphics you have never seen before, go watch Avatar. We watched it in 3D but I’m sure the 2D version would be just as spectacular. The filmatography around the blending of the two worlds was very well executed. I mean, Cameron even created a brand new language from scratch just for this movie.

The only dissapointment I had didn’t even have anything to do with the movie. If you’re ever been to Odeon in Leicester Square, you would know what I mean. We were seated towards the very back and the screen was dissapointing tiny back where we were. Would I watch Avatar again? You bet! But this time in a regular size theatre and experience it on a big screen.
