Avatar – My first 3D movie since Jaws


3D was made for Avatar. It cost a bit more, SGD14 for a ticket instead of the usual SGD9.50 but it is still worth the extra.

I was surprised to  see Sigourney Weaver in another alien movie, maybe I wasn’t paying attention to her when I saw the Avatar trailers. In her Aliens series, Sigourney keeps running away from aliens trying to mate with her. In Avatar, she tries to transfer her soul to the Avatar alien but fails to do so. Quite ironic in a way.

But the movie in 3D was visually pleasing and it brought the alien planet to “live”. Better than watching a digital version.

You soon get immersed into Pandora, the alien planet in Avatar. The creatures and plants were out of these world.

The 3D visuals will distract you from the predictable movie plot though. Paralysed Marine goes to alien planet, gets to walk again via the Avatars that look like the aliens, infiltrates the alien compound to get intel for higher-ups, falls in love with an alien and decides to save them instead from the grunt commander. We all know who the winner will be.

But I be disappointed if there isn’t Avatar 2, though.

However, it was much more better than the last alien movie I saw, Planet 51. I leave that for another post.

Here’s the trailer if you haven’t seen it.
