So here we have it, an advertising poster for the Golden Globe winning Avatar, a James Cameron, the Über 'Control Freak', film.

The film, which I saw in 3D with friends and family recently is not about film stars or their performances. Only one of the cast members recently received a minor award nomination: Zoe Saldana who plays the part of Nyteri, is nominated for best supporting actress in the Black Reel awards. It is all about spectacle.

The film is spectacular in it production, visually stunning and a technical triumph as a movie experience. Mostly set on a distant moon Pandora, 4.3 light years distant from earth, where the mineral Unobtanium is mined, much to the dismay of the indigenous population, the Na'vi. The story is set in the forests of the far distant moon, this is where all the action takes place. We sat there, jaws dropping, our minds blowing and taking in the fabulous creatures, the thousand foot trees and skyscapes filled with high floating mountains tremendous waterfalls and the interesting inter-species love story.

The music is very enjoyable too especially when listened to away from the film. In summary 2hr 40min‎ - ‎Rated 12A‎ - ‎Action/Adventure/Suspense/Thriller/Sci-fi/Fantasy

See it!

I See You.
