We Weren't Born To Follow

Is the title of the new single from my favourite band Bon Jovi. And it rocks. The new CD/LP is called The Circle and is out in November. Me excited!!

As for Avatar. I love James Cameron. Not literally, but his films. When I downloaded the teaser trailer for Avatar my initial response was... 'Is that it?'

James Cameron has talked about how this film will revolutionise film-making and viewing. Immersive 3D. Photorealistic characters and environments. However, he also spoke about how these service the storyline and supplement it. The trailer looks like it will be an imaginative film. It also looks like FMV footage from a video game. The trailer for the Avatar game looks remarkably similar to the film footage. My problem is that the film may be a fantastic experience in the cinema with the 3D footage working brilliantly. It also needs to work on 2D screens; either in non-3D equipped cinemas or at home. At this moment the film appears to be all singing and dancing in an appropriately equipped cinema. Comic Con reviews and those from people who saw the 16 minute preview in cinemas attest to this. The trailer is disappointing.

I will hold off on a verdict, because it is only a teaser trailer.

As a sign of my good taste watch the video for The Guild and 'Do You want to Date my Avatar?' For quality avatar themed stuff. http://feliciaday.com/blog
