Avatar trailer

    Last week I had an opportunity to see AVATAR in 3D at one of the cinemas in Budapest. The story itself wasn't unique and exciting especially because I had seen it earlier (not in 3D) on computer. That is why I don't want to talk about the story much. (To read the plot please visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_(2009_film)#Plot) But I was convinced that I must see it in 3D.  Well, I have to make you disappointed. In MY opinion in spite of its huge advertising and publicity it wasn't such a great or empressive movie.

   At the entrance everybody got 3D glasses. It was new for me not to get those paper ones with red and blue lens but plastic ones like real glasses. It seemed that I had a used one, because somebody got in a paperbag, but me no. Ok, I thought that nice hostess girl just wanted to make my work easier and opened it before she gave it to my hand. But at the end it became true that it was used, because at the exit those nice and slim hostesses collected back. I think those people who payed double price for the ticket just because of watching a 3D  movie could have got the glasses.

   In the beginning of the film - after the several trailers of new films, which I have to confess I love watching - the narrator said to put on your 3D glasses. And Avatar begins.... But where the hell is 3D??? I have seen a 3D movie before, but it was totally not like this. In this movie not all the elements were in 3D. I didn't feel that everything would have been in dimension. Some of the characters were just shown on the screen like in normal movies and some characters and elements were in 3D but not highlighted enough. It could have been more impressive and amazing where nobody knows which is the film and reality but in spite of it I couldn't wait to catch some parts of 3D in the movie. The battle part of the film when spaceships fight with dragons (or something like this) could be a very good part to make it in 3D and there is nothing. It is not enjoyable. Like watching a normal, ordinary Star Wars film. It made me very disappointed.

   The only parts where 3D was very good and well detailed the parts where some nature elements were illustrated especially the mother goddess called Eywa. These parts were also amazing without watching it in 3 dimension. But in 3D it was relly marvellous however just these shots from the film.

   In conclusion, unfortunately this film hasn't become one of my favourites. I would advise you to watch it, just you can tell then that you have seen it but I wouldn't recommend you to waste double price of a ticket to watch it in 3D. It isn't a big deal.  Maybe some of you have other opinions about the film, but I 'd like to tell you again that this is MY point of view and about the 3D version not the story and the film itself. I would really appreciate if you give your comments on this topic.
