Avatar 8/10 (2 extra for visuals only)
Well, what I'm going to write may not please some (maximum) but remember its MY opinion only.
Everyone was waiting for this one, it was the next big thing in cinema milestone and it has landed.
I got the chance to watch it in 3D (Cinemax @250/-
)tonight.
Seriously, mind-blowing and awesome visuals, lots of color and play of light. A very serious care has been taken for details. Imagining a whole world and then defining its details and how should it react to environment is not a small task.
Avatar gets a full 10/10 for this.
But, yes but...its story, what I anticipated came true. Yes guys here who watches lots of movies (The Last Samurai specially) and play a bit games (Turok may be
) already knows what this story is.
And those who are just smart and guessed something about the story watching the trailers...well u guys are correct too. Its story is exactly what u thought.
Old story with some meaningless (weak logic I would like to say) twists are put into it.
I'm not mentioning anything here, as it would spoil ur fun, let enough people watch it, then we can start an argument over falsifying my claims.
Seriously I'm not satisfied with the story and not too impressed with 3D. I didn't get the feel of it. IMO its not a right movie to watch in 3D but ya, HD obviously only for visuals. U don't go to 3D for awesome flowers or glowing octopus like weird things, u go for action which has the power to put u directly in the middle of it, makes u feel the heat. Well there are only one/two such scenes...
To sum it up,
Visuals=10/10
Screenplay= 5/10 (don't expect anything new, lots of loopholes and logic-less story twists/progress)
Directing= 7.5/10
Cinematography=10/10
