Avatar: The IMAX 3D Experience
From the director of the Oscar winning blockbuster Titanic, James Cameron’s latest groundbreaking cinematic masterpiece, Avatar, is set to hit Australia’s largest 3D screen at IMAX Melbourne Museum on December 17, 2009. James Cameron first conceived Avatar fourteen years ago when the technical means to fully realize his vision did not yet exist. Now, after four years of actual production work, Avatar delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience in which the revolutionary technology created to make the film merges with the emotion and the sweep of the story itself. Avatar is the story of an ex-Marine who finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, he finds himself torn between two worlds, in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of the indigenous people.
