(NZ Herald article by Vanessa Thorpe, Saturday 31st October, 2009)
NZ Herald article on James Camerons Avatar, creating a new world for audiences through revolutionary 3D Technology. Changing the parameters of popular entertainment, Camerons unorthodox vision has continually delivered masterful arrays of special effects throughout his 30 year span behind the camera.
Avatar takes us into space 120 years in the future onto the planet Pandora where humans can't breathe the air. The hero, Jake, lies in a box, while his virtual representative, a nne-foot-yall, electric-blue avatar explores the terrain. The article probes into the work ethics and character of James Cameron in his ability to persuade the public to clasp 3D cinema to their hearts at last.
