AVATAR 3D at IMAX

Recommended. If the visual effects don't get an oscar, I'll eat my keyboard. It's not even about the 3D but about the spectacular creation of an alien world: the landscape with floating mountains, the vegetation with its night-time fluorescence, the quasi-prehistoric wildlife and the indigenous population clearly inspired by native American cultures. Also the secret agent story is more satisfactory than the trailer suggested. It complements the presented world, everything makes sense, bits of humour (e.g. "Try to make your mind go blank. It shouldn't be too difficult for you.") endear to the characters from the beginning, betrayals and disloyalties provide emotional upheavals. It was altogether just breathtaking. When the 156-minute long movie ended it felt all too soon.
