James Cameron took to the screen to launch this idea had been stopped only by technical problems. Thanks to new technologies, the barrier gave way and the field was wide to Cameron and his team, could do one of science fiction most striking of recent times. "Avatar" is the key component for the film dispenses with the footage: a solid storyline full of dynamism, with images and sounds that keep the senses alert - without age differences - for all viewers. The proposal of the director, despite being required by the inevitable expectations generated by the abundant pre-marketing, satisfied in several ways making a smile and enjoy that great feeling of having lived a different time.
no doubt that the material in 3D must be an event of another planet. However, what we will work is a pure strategy which Cameron is already getting great results. The inclusion of actors outside the home is certainly a risk, but the director managed to put the story on the names making it clear that his bet is only the work it represents, and nothing else. In this way the work of Worthington, Saldana, Weaver, Rodriguez and - at times hated - Lang, pass without explosions lighting set to dazzle the viewer, but play the role given by the director once again proving that James Cameron does not insist on running great performances.
"Titanic" (1997), the film directed by Cameron who won 11 Oscars and became one of the winning titles in history, got no recognition in terms of performance. "Terminator" (1984) - also directed by Canadian - produced a landmark in the film industry to create a character remembered until today and in which special effects - especially in the second part of 1991 - played a fundamental pillar to take it to that place of honor. This reinforces the idea that Cameron is concerned with two fundamental concepts in which there is no input that could give its actors: the history and how to run audio-visually. When I refer to the "audiovisual" is just such a separation, since apart from the visuals, Cameron gives great emphasis to sound and incidental music, which in the case of "Avatar" was composed by James Horner, composer other major works such as "Braveheart" (1995) or the same "Titanic."
Beyond the extraordinary picture, amazing sound, the imaginative quality of the team to create all those aspects that make the work as the nature of the planet (flora and fauna), machines and instruments that are part of this "virtual reality", the work falls on the argument that while it is robust and dynamic, has several edges somewhat hackneyed in the field of film as eternal struggle between good and evil, they do at times rather obvious plot. The macro approach that delivers the tape is similar to what we showed "WALL • E" a year ago when it emphasized "the mass escape" of the earth by the destruction of it, the help of all races and tribes to save the planet is the same as Tolkien introduced by Peter Jackson in "Lord of the Rings", George Lucas on "Star Wars", etc, etc. However, despite these similarities, "Avatar" is still standing, showing the full potential can have a film with today's technology and hinting that Cameron is still very much alive.
