In fact, if you ignore the 3D technology and visual effects of "Avatar" and focus on the story itself, I honestly think it is a boring and clichéd story.
For example, when the male protagonist becomes Namei and goes to war with the colonel, Jibert Jr. hopes that the colonel's team will win.
The reason is also very simple. If the beauty is an elf or an angel, which conforms to human aesthetics, Jibert might have run away with his three views and facial features.
But a bunch of blue-skinned men with big dreadlocks and long tails. Unless you have special hobbies, you cannot like it.
From the human standpoint, Jibert Jr. certainly hopes the Colonel wins.
But then again, the reason why movies are called the seventh largest art is not entirely a story.
The story is important, but for a movie like "Avatar", it seems less important.
Looking at the cinema, whether it is the audience media or these star-studded Hollywood stars, they all were amazed at the visual effects of "Avatar".
Sitting not far from the back row of Jibert Jr., the all-American idol Kristen Stewart even couldn't help but stretch out his hand to feel it, but found the air.
Martin Scorsese was completely stunned. He is an old-school director who is not interested in the so-called 3D technology.
But this amazing visual effect kept impacting his cognition, as if God had come to the earth. Or, it is Satan who climbs out of hell, which will change the entire film industry.
Of course, after Martin Scorsese returned to his calmness, he had the same view as Jibert Jr., and the story was really average and cliché.
But the Hollywood directors and producers who came to support the show were thinking about another thing, that is, we also make 3D movies while taking advantage of this trend.
However, except for a few people, most producers and directors basically do not have the ability to create and tell stories by Jibert Jr., nor do they have the ability to develop technology by James Cameron.
They don't think about how to make a good movie, they are thinking: Let's reshoot the 3D version of Robocop and Veyron!
To be honest, the 3D movies in previous life shocked the world and became very popular at the beginning, and later they were disliked and even rejected by the audience, which has a lot to do with these uninspiring filmmakers.
After the premiere, amid the applause of the audience, James Cameron led the creator of "Avatar" to the stage to end the curtain call.
James Cameron must pull Jibert up with him, so Jibert had to follow him. The curtain call ended five times before the applause stopped.
In the press conference after the premiere, Jibert Jr. praised the film again: "Unparalleled, trans-era video.
The shocking 3D effect, even if it wasn't seen once, I was still addicted to the beautiful Pandora world.
I can think that today, December 26, 2009, is enough to be called Avatar Day. ”
Avatar Day was cited by influential newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times, the New York Post, and the Hollywood Reporter.
"From this moment, Hollywood's history will be two parts. It all comes from "Avatar", which led the technological revolution in Hollywood."
"Avatar is not the first 3D movie, but it is the first movie to be addicted to. James Cameron spent ten years creating a magnificent planet Pandora, which makes people intoxicated." >
"The only one who can surpass James Cameron is always himself, even Gibert Jr. is no exception." - Washington Post
When the Washington Post praised, it did not forget to stumble on Gilbert Jr., which was in line with the positioning of this media as Gilbert Jr.
Of course, the film is not without criticism, and it is not small.
"The New Yorker" critic David Robbie criticized Avatar: "White soldiers use alien bodies to save the primitive tribe, and this narrative is like buying indulgences with blood diamonds.
When viewers shed tears for Jack's choice, Hollywood completes the most gorgeous psychological replacement in history: we are both the RDA company that plunders the planet, and the blue savior who is moved by ourselves. "David Robbie is right, but not many people pay attention to this.
Paris Andrews, an active filmmaker in the last century, criticized: "When Jack was reborn through Avatar, the entire film industry also completed its digital baptism.
This is not a movie, but a technical declaration: from then on the actors will become a sacrifice for motion capture, and the scene designers will kneel in front of the rendering engine.
When a movie no longer requires live actors and can be produced by relying on CG technology, will it still be the same as the original movie? ”
This evaluation also makes sense, and it has proved in the past life that even if he starred in "Avatar", the starring actors in the film were not popular all over the world.
Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana are not as lucky as Little Plum and Kate Winslet. Zoe Saldana is better, she has another role to be out of the circle.
As for Sam Worthington, there is no such person except "Avatar".
In the movie "Avatar", the status of the actor is very low, lower than the visual effect and lower than the performance of 3D technology.
After the premiere, "Avatar" soon ushered in midnight show.
For an original science fiction movie, no big-name stars join, even if Jibert Jr., this "Avatar" still seems to be inconvenient.
Therefore, in the midnight show, the film only received a box office of 7.39 million US dollars, which is not proportional to its huge investment.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
It was already late in the night in the Sky Studio, and David Ellison still hadn't gone back to rest. He was in the office with Michael Orwitz, Mel Gibson and others.
The assistant came in and knocked on the door: "The box office of "Avatar" came out at midnight."
"How many?" David Ellison asked.
“7.39 million US dollars.”
"YES!" Mel Gibson punched hard: "I just said, he couldn't always succeed."
Michael Orwitz was quite calm, saying: "This is an original science fiction movie without big stars, original and unfamiliar to the audience.
Being able to achieve this midnight box office result has proved that the quality of the movie itself is good. ”
"But the film director's name is James Cameron, and Jibert Jr. is also a producer, and he has spent so much investment. This midnight box office is definitely not satisfactory."
David Ellison's relaxed smile hangs on his lips: "No matter what, this is good news for us."
David Ellison was still too happy, although the midnight box office was not high. But as the number of viewers has increased, the amazing viewing effects of the film began to spread rapidly on the Internet.
Many fans who have watched the IMAX3D version can't wait to share their amazing feelings when watching the movie, which aroused the curiosity of more fans.
"Avatar is a work that you cannot miss, trust me."
"IMAX3D is an excellent choice. Although the ticket price is more expensive than ordinary cinemas, it is definitely worth it."
"James Cameron is worthy of being the king of the world. The works brought by ten years of hard work are amazing enough."
"This is the most amazing movie I have seen in recent years. Those who have not seen this movie will regret it for life."
The reputation has rapidly spread from North America to the whole world, and the shocking viewing effect of "Avatar" has been understood by audiences all over the world. (This chapter ends)
