How did we ring in the New Year? In an empty movie theater watching Avatar IMAX 3D.
The CGI is simply stunning. Seriously, it might be the most photorealistic film in history from a computer graphics perspective. The detail in individual faces—there were times I could swear I was looking at human faces painted (and that’s a compliment). And there’s a lot going on in the background too. You really need IMAX and ideally 3D because it’s one of the few movies where IMAX 3D technology isn’t just used in certain scenes, but everywhere.
The main villain Varang is absolutely amazing. Every time she appeared on screen, she stole the spotlight. Despite the CGI, they perfectly conveyed all the complex emotions of her character. They made her truly merciless, sexy, and dangerous. It turned out cool.
The three-hour runtime is densely packed with action, with practically no scenes that make you want to yawn.
