I just noticed, my post Bagong Buwan is now the most popular entry I have here.. Hah! Anyway, that’s probably the most “searched” of all the topics I’ve posted – guess that’s the main reason behind it. New Moon, ya, that’s what it’s about – or Bagong Buwan in our native tongue. It’s just a senseless entry on the movie. Oh and still, I haven’t seen the movie yet. Hmmm..

Anyway this entry ain’t about that.

Finally got to watch the movie Avatar. Which, I’d say got me more interested than New Moon. We were hoping to be seated on the 3:00 P.M. screening but man these IMAX 3D tickets sell like hot pan cakes. Which was rather fitting when my colleague sent me a text message saying he won’t be able to come to work – yet again, so it would’ve been a bummer if we got our tickets for the 3PM screening then only to find out that I won’t be off ’til 6:00 P.M. that day. Oh and it was a Sunday – work on a Sunday – ya I know, not something you’d want to be doing. If you had a choice that is – in my case I don’t. So anyway, we got ticket for the 10:00 P.M. screening. Yup, that late to get good seats for that day. But it’s all good, following day is my day off from work, and also we got to attend Sunday mass.

OK. About IMAX and this thing they call The IMAX Experience. Uhm, it was alright. (Right, I can do better than that.) OK it was “cool”. Seriously it is. Watching the movie with it being close to real with you seated only a few meters away than usual from the screen gives you a different feel to it, one to experience and not let pass. Not to mention the great surround-sound that adds to that effect of you actually being part of the action on the screen. These are just the good side of it though, so of course it’s “cool”. It’s cool that way because it’s sounds cool that way. The moment I put my 3D glasses on got me excited really, but later on found it quite annoying. In the States, at Universal Studios they have these short 3D experience like Terminator 2 : 3D, Shrek. Those were cool yet short but to me watching these kind of stuff shouldn’t take over an hour or so. Sure the detail was nice but it’s an entire movie, and you can’t really absorb all that detail nor appreciate it for the reason that it is quite a  lengthy movie. I’d say I’m after the story more than the detail of each scene. Hey, I’m not trying to discourage any of you who gets to read this and haven’t tried it yet. I would even tell you to go ahead and watch Avatar on IMAX Theater for you to “experience” it yourself. I’m in no position really to say this and that I’m just stating what I think about this whole thing. Sure it was fun, awesome even. Can’t help but notice how movies have evolved, and I’m just excited that I get to live through the shift.

Avatar by the way is one great film. It was great in ways of being able to depict precise emotion in one’s animated character, the movements, gesture, and facial expressions even. It’s just one of its kind. **Right now I think it’s still climbing its way up to number one trying to knock-off a movie of  its same caliber, the movie Titanic – which as we all know was directed by the creator of Avatar as well – sir James Cameron.

So anyway to sum this entry all up; hands-down Avatar is a great film, the IMAX Experience sure was one great experience – I must say. But not something I’d want to repeat – it’s one for the books though – ‘ika nga nila.

That’s it for now! No hate, just love. Peace!
