Well, lets start with the basics. This film is historic. On a personal note I enjoyed the film much more than I thought I would. The wife had to basically drag me to see it and I'm glad she did. I think it lasted about 150 minutes which in other films would drag in but this one it didn't. It seemed to link in perfectly so you weren't waiting for the next piece of action so it gets a big thumbs up for me and I'm equally as excited as there are sequels planned if the film is successful, well its just became the fastest film to gross $1 billion at the box office so its already in profit so get writing Mr Cameron.
Though lets take a step back from the money that it is bringing in and look at the bigger picture. Will this trigger a deluge of 3D films? Surely 3D is the way forward now that the technology "has caught up" as James Cameron eluded to when he said this film was 15 years in the making.
Well there are two sides to every argument and from a laymans point of view, yes it was a great film and superbly conceived and delivered. But can you do that with every film? Can every film be shot in that way? Will the screenplay allow it? In a nutshell I believe only certain types of films deserve and will be shot in 3D in the future. Again money will talk in the future development for this kind of technology but how much better can the picture get? Yes the technology can improve to make it easier to shoot a movie of this type but can the movie goers experience get better?
In my eyes technology will always improve and budgets will always rise but will we ever reach a pinnacle? Will we ever reach a point where we can say, yeah that won't be topped for a while. I.m.o., Avatar is such a film and I believe that it won't be topped. Maybe you're saying well what about the sequels? How can they be any different? Sure the storyline can be developed but the technology that brought us the immaculate conception surely can't be improved to bring us the siblings for want of a better analogy.
I think Avatar has proved to be a benchmark that James Cameron dreamed up all those years ago and now the baby has been born. Will 3D prove to be the future? Possibly yes for some types of film. Will the screenplay be better than what Avatar brought us, doubtful. In my opinion the best thing about 3D is the interaction between viewer and screen and when the interaction is as real as this I believe there can be no topping it. I don't think I will be writing about a better 3D film in the next few years anyway.
