Awesome effects in 'Avatar'

A scene from ‘Avatar’ |
In 1902, 'cinemagician' Georges Méliès blew audiences away with the
sight of a rickety spaceship hitting the eye of the man of the moon in
the short, Le voyage dans la Lune.
Fast-forward to 1939, when 'The Wizard of Oz' wowed moviegoers on a
whole new level with the Technicolor marvels of the munchkin world.
Now comes 'Avatar,' a film that leaves these seminal experiences and
others of the 20th century buried in the dust. Thanks to a budget that
reportedly zips past US$300 million, 'Avatar's' state-of-the-art 3-D
technology has raised the bar in Hollywood for years to come.
Cameron's new technological marvel brings to life Pandora, a
jaw-dropping jungled Eden of the future inhabited by blue-skinned,
golden-eyed aliens called the Na'vi. 'Avatar' will begin unspooling at
Liberty cinema from December 24. |
