WHILE it is one of the cinema’s biggest movies for 2009, Avatar has a host of critics suggesting the build up to seeing a revolutionary 3D film that cost in excess of $300 million to make, is one that could disappoint.
The Age reviewer Jim Schembri said it lacked a lot of creative narration.
“The whole thing plays out like a green-tinted fairytale written by a retired hippie,” he writes in The Age.
“How much you enjoy Avatar will largely depend on how much you are willing to forgive a director who has given so much to popular cinema.
“While Titanic was a melodramatic masterpiece where state-of-the-art filmmaking technology served the heart of the story, Avatar is the exact opposite – too concerned about the way things look rather than the way they feel.”
Avatar will explode into the hearts of fans this summer; just as Twilight did last month.
It is great to see more and more blockbusters being made.
Whether they live up to their name of ‘blockbuster’ remains left to the eye of the audience.
For those into sci-fi’s, this will be one unforgettable film.
