Storyline

Plot Summary: 

As a big science fiction movie fan and ultra big fan of older 70mm cinema format ( I have seen a lot of 70mm USA films in Europe) and I was projection technician in Europe so my review is about film first and technical IMAX review second. James Cameron did honorable job after big pause in his career. He did script himself for years and he truly put his hard into it and waited until modern technology allow him to complete it. Script and director is excellent as well as digital cartoon creation in New Zealand studios.
Fantasy of planet Pandora creation in such precision reality deserves minimal 4 oscars - Director + Script, digital effects, sound and cut and I am sure film will get it ! Actors plays great, but Oscars are for digital creators and director. I have to give maximum 10 star for film ! As a 70mm movie lover I want to review AVATAR in IMAX 3D. Avatar is first full movie release (2H 40min) in IMAX 70×48.5 mm format film window. Even IMAX has 3 times more resolution than old clasic 70mm film and 10 times resolution of clasic 35mm there is huge advantage and huge disadvantage against old 70mm perfect wide screen format. Resolution is simply amazing on large screen and because on very high speed of film in 3D there is absolute best sound IMAX system you can hear in cinema ever build.
You will enjoy high detail resolution in IMAX however in smaller screen IMAX cinema , there is not much difference on quality between old 70mm and IMAX. Both format will tow you inside into a movie with all your feelings exept smell and touch. IMAX is sadly not wide screen format but almost 4:3 screen (1:1.44) and best for special documentary movies and not for regular Hollywood movies. AVATAR film is over 18Km long film in material.Precisely 3x more expensive than for me best 70mm classic format. 70mm performed awesome in 6 channel audio same like IMAX. IMAX is too pricey (3million dollar just for 1 film material and even more for 3D.
Movie title has to pay all of the IMAX cost so it has to be good. 70mm collapsed for budget and IMAX is even more in jeopardy because it is 3x more expensive. IMAX 3D using 2 projectors and 2 projection heads throw separate filter for each eye. Films runs 48 frames/ second in incredible sound system IMAX. Therefore choose rather IMAX for $5 more on movie ticket rather than regular 3D or 2D 35mm film. It is worth for ultra sharp resolution on great AVATAR movie while it is still in theaters. Disadvantage of IMAX is only clasic format but not widescreen. IMAX is 3 times more expensive to make than 70mm in past. 70mm collapsed for budget and IMAX is even in worse position. AVATAR make over 380milions in 3 weeks. That will cover nicely all expenses. Will it do same on next IMAX 3D scheduled release film - Allice in the wonderland in MARCH 04 ? We will see likely only 3 full movie in IMAX format /year. Peter V.
