Our friends over at DVD Outsider have written a review on the recently released James Cameron directed epic, Avatar.
If you have missed the coverage this film has received over the recent holiday season, then you are probably in the minority. Either way read on for an excerpt from the full review.
“At a running time of well over two and a half hours, you’d think there’d be a sag in the middle. Well, there is so much to see (in a controlled and well directed fashion, not a Lucasian one) and your eye does lap up most of it. I mean, Pandora is seriously gorgeous (even if its physics is a bit odd – how can Earth machines fly and yet the planet’s mountains float unsupported?) and the Na’vi are intriguing and so lifelike. If there is a slight drawback in total immersion, it’s because we are not used to seeing how ten feet tall alien humanoids move therefore the only references we have are ourselves. There is a scene at the end of the film (which I won’t spoil) but it involves close human and Na’vi physical contact and even with a CG humanoid and a real human being entwined around each other, it works gangbusters.”
