Transient Entertainment

Posted by Joseph Castay

I saw the movie Avatar at an IMAX theater in 3-D. I am a bit of a technology kind of guy, and know something about 3-D in general. I have seen old and new 3-D technology. The Avatar movie was definitely new technology. The 3-D glasses (not so new) disguise my reality and covered my expressions, so I thought, from everyone around me. Though the movie was exciting and with adventurer, the story is simple with the old good over evil, and one's self and against opposition of others.  You might say I knew the end as it begun, and I did not read the book.

I was able to glide in the sky, run through the forest and do what was extraordinary to the human but normal for the Avatar. The action sent me physically moving with the characters in my seat. I felt myself drift away from my surroundings, and I felt my grounding when I bumped the person next to me. There was a small amount of time when I observed other theater goers, and they were lost in a movie trance. Seeing them brought me back to where I was, but I went back to the movie and allowed it to pull me into its more thrilling moments.  While the movie was good and captivating it was a feeling of disappointment to have to leave it behind, it was over. And so was being lost in another world.
