Avatar.

At MONOmoda we don’t usually do film reviews, but when something comes along and shifts your perspective on things at this magnitude, you just can’t help but write about it. Tonight I had the pleasure of watching James Cameron’s Avatar.

It was perhaps the greatest cinematic experience of my life. For nearly three hours I was captivated and transported to another world where it felt as though anything was possible, an exquisite utopia of unparalleled proportions.

Whilst I could go on about the details of the film, I am sure there are many other sites where you can read such things so I will instead keep it brief and talk rather about how it made me feel and how it affects me a designer.

I can say with conviction, that Avatar is an extraordinary achievement, technically, visually and story wise. It is truly exceptional. It fills my heart with happiness to think that the human imagination is capable of such amazing feats.

This is a film that made me feel small in relation to it’s scale and consistently sent chills down my spine. It’s made me think bigger about the scope of the things I create and what can be accomplished- It’s given me a whole new sense of awareness and awakened me once more to the power of creative possibility, and for me that is worth the price of admission alone.

It’s inspirational, and it’ll change you.

5/5
