It feels like you have stepped into an imaginary world, like World of Warcraft (you will have to play to know what I mean.. just reading about it won't cut). I don't know whether you have watched Avatar in 3D, if you haven't then do. "I’ve never seen a movie like this in my life" reviews in IMDB -- may be too much off the chart. Same old and tried story in a different wrapper. But, I've to say, it was something surreal after we came out of the 3D experience. A new way to see movies. Note to myself: research on IMAX stock. I give "A-" for 3D format and a screenplay that elevates the experience with 3D, but for story, not that much. There were also few stupid holes in the movie, but, hey 3D makes it fade away -- just like logic holes in a Thalaivar movie. :) Fun with 3D experience, well, it’s above fun.

I am impressed with those... I know a few tamil directors who have painted an entire village for a single song sequence... i dont want to insult JC..but still... As a rule of thumb, I believe any ideal work of art should contain only what is essential and nothing extra... To me a new language etc does not add much.. If I know whats going to happen in the end (not to mention the othaiku othai fights)... no matter how grand it is..leaves me a tad disappointed...

If you consider a good storyline alone to be the basis of good cinema, then Avatar is not exceptional. But the sheer amount of technical work that has gone in and other efforts (creating a language just for the movie etc..) makes it pretty phenomenal. I watched it yesterday in 3D and I was totally impressed. I beg to differ! If you consider a good storyline alone to be the basis of good cinema, then Avatar is not exceptional.
