Overall Feeling: 

Avatar won’t amaze you with an amazing story or characters but it will blow your mind when it comes to the visuals and how rich and engaging the world James Cameron created is. There hasn’t been a film like this that has created something that is so detailed and fully realized that it will just suck people up into the experience of Jake Sully and the battle happening on the planet of Pandora. And as far as being a James Cameron film it is easily in his top three as he’s on the top of his game and presents some amazing action scenes and once again sets the bar for special effects.

The Pros: 

Jaw dropping special effects, intense and original action and the design for Pandora and its creatures is some of the most original stuff that’s been created in awhile. The technology used to capture the performance of the actors is amazing and shines through Zoe Saldana’s amazing performance as Neytiri. Though a bit cliché the story still has moments where it shines and has a few classic James Cameron trademarks.

The Cons: 

The story isn’t anything we haven’t seen before and that may turn some people off. Most of the characters never really grow after they’re established and that’s a missed opportunity especially when it comes to characters like Parker Selfridge.

I don’t think there has been a movie that has had the same amount of anticipation as Avatar.

[Review] James Cameron's Avatar: The Game

Overall Feeling: 

Despite the early hype James Cameron's Avatar: The Game isn't the game to break the curse of bad movie games. Instead the game is probably one of the most disappointing movie games I've played as it's lacking that epic scope that the film promises and when it comes to being a game it's extremely boring due to repetitive missions and a subpar story.

The Pros: 

The game is playable in the sense that it won't crash on you. Exploring Pandora may be a nice experience for some even though it isn't as detailed or big as the film. The design of the main menu and accompanying music is very nice. Some of the visuals can look quite nice but sadly that isn't the case with the majority of the game.

The Cons: 

Inconsistent graphics, boring missions, iffy controls, a story that fails to be captivating, unoriginal mission design and an uneven multiplayer mode. Basically Avatar: The Game fails in every aspect that makes a game fun.

For some reason or another there are things that are just meant not to be in the world. Things like world peace, the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series and video game fanboys not arguing with each other are just a few things that probably will never happen, and if they do then I think we should all be scared.  Something else that is a long shot from ever happening is gamers getting a good game based on a film.  For a long time the movie game genre has been a complete joke as the games are simply shells of what they could be and are obvious cash-ins.

Exclusive Avatar 3D IMAX Movie Screening Impressions

Despite having the odds stacked against me due to an awful ticket distribution system I was extremely lucky and was able to snag some tickets for the special Avatar preview screening held today.  Now as some of you may know by now I’ve really been looking forward to this movie, so I was definitely amped up to see a few clips of the film in glorious IMAX 3D. Despite being kept in the dark for a long time as to what the film looked like, I still had faith in director James Cameron that he would deliver an original movie with some jaw dropping visuals.

Will you be lucky enough to get a ticket for Avatar Day?

Last month at the San Diego Comic Con the first footage of James Cameron’s long in development sci-fi epic “Avatar” was shown.  Over 20 minutes of footage was shown in glorious 3D for the lucky attendees at the Avatar panel and the general impression from most folks was that the movie looked amazing and will be a game changer in how effects are presented in movies.
