Gadgething team at Avatar pre-premiere

If you haven’t been in the theaters lately for any reason possible, it is a time to change that for sure. Why? I’ll try to explain it.

I’ve been quite a few times, watching few blockbusters pre-premieres, like Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and James Bond Quantum Of Solace and every time I got home disappointed, not because of a bad movie, on the contrary, the movies were great but cinematic experience was just not ’something’. The picture quality is just awful in comparison with my HD plasma. It looks like washed out, dark, dull picture, even the screen is enormous. I watched the same movies few months later on my Pioneer 50″ Kuro plasma in HD and I’ve definitely enjoyed it much more than in the theater.

I had a chance to watch pre-premiere of Avatar few days ago, and I was really all skeptical about all that IMAX 3D stuff, I really was, but it was unbelievable experience watching Avatar in IMAX 3D format. As we all from Gadgething team agreed, lack of brightness and a little sharpness is clearly noticeable. Even so, 3D effect are groundbreaking, every time Neytiri has shoot an arrow, you would feel the arrow’s head so close to you, it would be hard to resist the temptation to stretch out a hand to try to touch it and feel it with fingertips. Another great example is when a smoke grenade enters in The Hometree (Kelutrel) you would probably (like me) duck because the grenade enters directly in you. But especially fascinating to me is The secret tree’s neurons which hangs out and every time a character enters inside the secret tree you’ll feel that mean 3D format, you’ll feel like you are there. The same effect you’ll feel every time a character walks in the jungle, every leaf, every branch, feels like it is all around you, it feels like you are there, on Pandora.

So, despite the lack of brightness and ‘funny looking’ plastic 3D glasses on your nose, the whole experience is breathtaking, from the first to the last scene everything it just WOW. In addition on all that IMAX 3D effect James Cameron’s Avatar is a one special movie for itself, so when you combine those things together the result is what I said before: the super movie + IMAX 3D is a reason to enjoy watching movies in the theaters once again like before home cinema equipment moved in our homes.
