Well finally I am reviewing Avatar, the latest prodigy made in Cameron.
from the beginning, the hype that was created around this movie: monstrous. Go see this movie hall is how to prepare to make love to a woman like Scarlett Johansson or Megan Fox ... actual performance anxiety! The media, critics and box office data have made us think of us before a masterpiece of cinema, which would revolutionize history forever, but ... this is so.
James Cameron has a particular value, which is to keep what he says. After fifteen years in the making (The project was shelved in favor of a more "simple" Titanic (1997) - still in the top of the list of collections of all time, with about 150 million dollars of waste from the "blue giant" - because the technology not allowed to be in harmony with his will), about three hundred million dollars of budget and six years for the mere creation of "The Volume" (revolutionary new system of performance capture, which replaces the traditional motion capture) is able to produce a work which, in my humble opinion, keeps what he said: "Avatar will be the biggest revolution in cinema after the transition to sound and color."

We are faced with a product that is indeed a piece blockbuster, but it's also a dream (this page) that Cameron gives us directly from his head. Just thinking that everything is Pandora has grown in his mind for three decades, should give you idea of \u200b\u200ba director (and man) is this.

But we go beyond and enter the film. The story was quickly battered by critics because it is basically the only point on which you can cling to in all honesty. Someone said it was too similar to Pocahontas (1995). I see and raise with Dances with Wolves (1990) , Ferngully - The Adventures of Zak and Crysta (1992) and Last Samurai (2003) .
Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) is an ex-Marine who is sent on Pandora to perform searches through a remote-controlled alien body called Avatar. Here he is asked to infiltrate the population Na'vi and earn their trust and then report their every move: this will allow them to wage a major offensive against the peaceful race to uproot them from their territory from which it can then extract the ' unobtanium , mineral that is traded at astronomical prices. Here the brave Jake begin to know and love the culture and the beautiful Na'vi Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), ended up having to choose on whose side you fight.
trite, obvious and repetitive, yes, but not when you see through the eyes of Cameron.
He has not made a film, has created a world, a universe, something "alive" in every respect: even the greeting of the population has a not-so-that the spiritual ... "I see you."
Cameron has created a universe populated by a huge variety of animals, insects, amphibians, elephants and predators. The flora is lush and varied: each branch or leaf is perfect and well-defined, characterized by a story that everyone in this world seem to love and respect.
Cameron has created a population with its traditions, its rituals, fears and faith. A world that is constantly filled with energy hippie / new age that seems suggest a concept that should be there very much to heart at this moment: "we are the world we live in and all that surrounds us."
The film is pure action, there is no time for boredom. A flash after another leads the viewer on a journey that eventually will not want to return.
The script is not perfect and the script is smudged - because it's all already seen and reviewed, it would be impossible to do something wrong. The solutions adopted by Cameron film are of the highest level, as well as the perfection of three-dimensional, totally different than any other film seen before.

Avatar is not just a movie, is an experience. An experience that must live film and 3D, for sure. Why are these 160 minutes of film history will never come again in the room (although I'm willing to bet that there will remain a long time) and you could seriously regret not having lived.
In conclusion, after the announcement of a follow-up by Cameron, let me say one thing: congratulations James.

How could not review this film? You could not, in fact, here I am fresh and fresh vision, I could enjoy it last night at the multiplex.

First we must say that couple was never more apt. Award Winning Law & Downey Jr. takes a high level of film for the duration of the show. They're good together like milk and bread and coffee or chocolate, the choice is yours. There are also great costumes, effects and locations, very satisfying for the eyes.

But I would go further and enter the focal point of this film, which is also the comment I heard from many: I do not want to see this film because it is not true to Sherlock Holmes.
Lord, how naive. Since it is expected that a movie is faithful to the novel? I would say that this does not happen even for jobs like Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter , let alone a film that has no apparent intention to remain faithful to anything.
The manufacturers are, in fact, tried to reinvent this character so deep and interesting, adapting them to their imagination (and that could make it better at the box office, needless to hide it) and allowing them to tear out out of an investigation all respect, with an assistant as good. (Recall that Jude Law was replaced after refusing to Gerard Butler and the abandonment of Colin Farrell.)
Obviously from classic elements remain, including the abient, the inevitable pipe, the genius and his fine art deductive.
The film is "tough", not bored, not tired and does not yawn. On the contrary it is quite action-packed, blows, and fighting various twists. Downey does not save anything, even though there was some hesitation at the start of the producer about his age: the iron man does not flinch or look back, leading to complete its work even better as they would many others. In addition to this, I can say that when I heard of Professor Moriarty I soon realized that there would be a sequel, so be ready to go in the room before the next year!

Finally a movie to watch during this holiday, maybe instead of those sad "cinepanettoni" propinano there every year and every year I hope I do not come at all.
If you have 8 € to throw away this is a great investment that will bring you a couple of hours of entertainment, fun and good cinema: Recommended.
