Even though Avatar came out in 2009, it doesn’t look dated at all. The initially awkward lankiness of the Na’vi, too, is quickly forgotten as their beautifully animated features blend into the spectacular landscapes. The Na’vi also look far better than most MCU computer animation released today ( look no further than She–Hulk).
Before our protagonist even starts talking, the stunning visuals come in: sweeping space vistas as his spaceship comes in to land on the harsh, concrete military base, surrounded by the rich and vibrant Pandoran jungle and the breathtaking cliffs of the Hallelujah mountains.
#AVATAR THE MOVIEICON MOVIE#
This movie was intended to be viewed in 3D on the big screen, and its graphics absolutely deliver. With the 13–year–wait for the sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, almost over and the original film back in cinemas in a remastered, 4K version, I decided to pop my Avatar cherry to see how the film holds up in today’s oversaturated climate.įirst and foremost, Avatar simply has to be seen in a cinema. There isn’t exactly a lack of graphics–heavy Disney content these days, after all, and there is much more media touting that the movie’s plot is mostly forgettable than singing its praises. Remaining an Avatar virgin, so to speak, wasn’t a deliberate move I just happened to miss it when it came out and never felt very compelled to catch up on it. And yet, before last week, I had never seen it. Avatar is, by most accounts, a modern classic: a technological masterpiece and the arguable founder of Hollywood’s current CGI era, all while consistently defending its spot as the highest–grossing film of all time.
