The Factory Live movie review – Avatar
Each month field marketing agency The Factory Live will bring you our review on what we think should be film of the month. This article was due to start in January, however, following our office trip to the cinema last night, I was compelled to get this one up straight away …….
Forget anything else you have ever seen at the cinema before in your life …… for Avatar takes you to somewhere that you cannot even prepare for!!
I will be honest, I don’t really know what I was going to expect. I had never really seen a 3D movie before, apart from an old school trip to Alton Towers when I was younger. That film gave me a headache and the paper red and green glasses kept falling off. Last night we were all given what looked like an extremly cool pair of Rayban glasses, which were very comfy, before we settled down in our seats. TIP .. (when you go to se this movie, sit as close to the screen as you can)
The story, as I am sure you are all aware of by now, tells the tale of an ex marine who is wheel chair bound on the planet of Pandora. Through the creation of scientists, he is able to live his life in another body via his Avatar created to look like one of the locals. He is given the job of becoming a spy for the army using his Avatar, gaining the trust of the locals, infiltrate their world and reporting back all his findings. The story is great, but to be fair, it’s the 3D digital visualisation of the film that will make you stare in awe and amazement at the screen.
The last time I travelled up to the north for a meeting it took me just under 4 hrs, and I felt like I had wasted 4 hrs of my life. At just over 3 hrs, Avatar will make you feel that you have just spent the best 3 hrs of your life in a world that will leave you screaming for more ……..
A unanamous 10/10 from all of us in the office. A must see film for 2009, 2010 and for many years to come. Make sure you see the 3D version !!!!!
