The IMAX is MY Avatar
The IMAX cinema is a brilliant experience. The screen is approximately 36 metres x 29 metres (on an average of 8 stories high) and is known to be that bright light in everyone’s life. IMAX stands for Image Maximum, so in the end, it does live up to its name. IMAX is a cinema that has the best 3D effects and sound in films that are eye popping and ground shaking. I have been to normal cinemas that have 3D movies so I knew what I was expecting, but as soon as I started watching the film at IMAX, I found out its so much different to the original cinema screenings. When I got home I was so interested in how they created something that sprouts out in front of your eyes so I researched it and this is the outcome I received:
“To create the illusion of three-dimensional depth, the IMAX 3D process uses two camera lenses to represent the left and right eyes. The two lenses are separated by a distance of 64 mm (2.5 in), the average distance between a human's eyes. By recording on two separate rolls of film for the left and right eyes, and then projecting them at the same time, viewers experience seeing a 3D image on a 2D screen.”
Whoever came up with such a great idea are genius’ as they have allowed to enjoy a movie with more depth and made it even better for children to actually contribute for educational purposes. Just knowing that this already has been inventing, makes me look forward for all the more exclusive technology in the future.
Where the IMAX is located is not such a good idea because it is hard to find if you don’t really know the area too well. Also, if someone wanted to drive there, there wouldn’t really be any parking places. But, on the other hand, it is a good spot because it is around a quiet area (underground) and also it won’t get as busy on the way there as it would have been if it was placed on a main road.
Since my classmates and myself (including teachers) went as a group, we only had to pay £8.75 which may seem expensive but worth it for the quality. The talk with the educational manager, Charlie Brooks, could have been better. She didn’t really go into depth with what she was saying which means my notes haven’t got as much detail as it could have had. The facilities there seem nice and fresh. The toilets are clean and seem as though they get cleaned frequently. Also the cinema screening itself is very clean too. They take very good care of their equipment.

Film: Avatar
Released: December 2009
Production Companies:
· Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation
· Dune Entertainment
· Ingenious Film Partners
· Lightstorm Entertainment
Actors/Voices:
· Sam Worthington > (Jake Sully) – In the film Jake seems like a helpless soul at the beginning but then later on he becomes “two faced” due to him tricking his fellow avatar friends into think he wants to be family.
· Zoe Saldana > (Neytiri) – Neytiri is a very confident woman who knows what she stands for. Any woman could call her a role model due to all the independence that she holds.
· Sigourney Weaver > (Dr. Grace Augustine) – Sigourney’s part seems critically rude and the beginning but later on I began to see the actual warmth in her heart steaming up.
· Stephen Lang > (Colonel Miles Quaritch) – Throughout the whole of the film, Stephen Lang plays the part of a character that is very selfish and cold hearted.
· Giovanni Ribisi > (Parker Selfridge) – Not a nice person at all. All he was good at in this film was destroying peoples lives and habitats in a very selfish way.
· Joel Moore > (Norm Spellman) – Norm seems as though he is the stupid doughnut in between all of them but has to be a person that everyone loves.
· Wes Studi > (Eytukan) – Eytukan surely has all the qualities to be king. Protective over his daughter and protective over his kingdom.
· Laz Alonso > (Tsu’tey) – This prince is in hold of a very scary personality and is just like his king, protective over his sister.
When “paraplegic” Jake’s brother is killed in a robbery, he decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. When he gets there, he then begins to notice of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's targets of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in order to grab all the treasured material spread throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the uniting military unit organised by Colonel Quaritch, while at the same time trying to intrude the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the impatient Colonel moves forward with his brutal massacre dealings, forcing the soldier to take a stand - and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora.
I liked the film a lot because it’s something that you don’t see in the cinemas all the time. It has a lot of qualities and just knowing it took more than 10 years to create, makes me value it more every time I do watch it. The 2 things I didn’t really like about the film is that it ran over time a bit and also the fact that if it wasn’t in 3D then it wouldn’t actually be as good as it turned out to be.
LOG: I found this section slightly difficult because I didn't know if I was entering too much information about 'Avatar' or not. I felt that I did go too much into detail about Avatar which could of been a waste of time. But on a better note, I feel that I have done everything that I have been asked to do.
