一直听到很多关于Avatar的消息。
号称是电影史上拥有最高水准视觉特效、也是最昂贵、制作最久的影片。
单单这些衔头，已经很吸引人了，不看好像很对不起祖宗。
拍电影，谁敢比赛拍最久，拍最贵，还敢敢拿出来炫耀。。。
没死过吗？
就是这个James 啦！制作费之高，几乎是要怎样玩都可以。
让人期待的地方主要是，这部电影，将会是一部全世界从来也没有出现过的作品。
美国人的文化侵略就是这样叫你无法抗拒。
14年后，阿凡达才出世！
慢慢想一下。。。

James Cameron’s Avatar raises movie-making to a level not seen before.
Watching the 2D version at Tampines Mall this afternoon, I [...]

During the weekend, I watched the movie Avatar in 3D with my girlfriend Jasmine and a couple of colleagues. Watching the blue skinned (cat-human-monkey hybrids) natives called the Na’vi of the imaginary moon ‘Pandora,’ clash with the invading Human Armarda in glorious 3D was worth the $13 weekend admission. Imagine being able to see ash and cinder ‘float’ across the screen as though you are sitting around a bonfire.

If the transition from photo stills to moving pictures or black & white to color is a yardstick for how ‘awesome’ the latest 3D technology is, it ranks up there on that scale. The person behind the movie’s 3D technology is none other than writer/ director James Cameron (Titanic, Terminator, etc). His vision of what movies could become was only actualized in the last couple of years as the technology had to be literally invented by his team.
