AVATAR001

I was very honoured to attend the world premiere of Avatar last night. And WOW! It’s incredible – one of the most beautiful films I’ve ever seen! The plot is not perfect and there are plenty of cheesy Hollywood moments, but for once none of this matters – It’s like a Roger Dean record sleeve brought to life, but in stunning high def 3D?

After seeing the trailers and reading all the hype I wasn’t really expecting much, but after about 30minutes I was totally immersed. Vivid colours, perfect details and breathtaking landscapes – this film changes everything.
