AVATAR was AWESOME!!!
Between the Lines: "James Cameron used cutting edge 3D motion capture technology from Autodesk such as Autodesk MotionBuilder to enable real actors to control digital characters in a virtual set in real-time. Jon Landau said “We could not have made this movie without Autodesk”."

Aside from Avatar being a modern day retelling of Fern Gully, the fact that technology has finally made it to a point where it looks so life like is almost scary. On top of the fact that the CG looks photo realistic, it seems to hold up in 3D better then any movie I've heard of so far. The fact that each review says that this movie needs to be seen in 3D is just a testament to the level of detail put into the visual aspects of the movie. The fact that something this visually amazing, has a root in Autodesk, just makes it even cooler.
This movie was a mindblowing experience. Even if the plot had been slow and the actors dull(neither of which is the case) it was such a visual feast that no one would have cared. I have seen it in 3D and normally, and I have to say how much richer the experience is with 3D. I agree that it is almost scary how real these affects seem, because half way through the movie I forgot that what I was seeing was computer generated, because it just seemed so natural. Needless to say it is incredible that Autodesk has the ability to do these things
I saw Avatar in 3-D and thought that the immersive environment that was created was amazing. It was simply beautiful to see the as-close-to-life-like animations interacting in a fully developed and realized world. The idea of using a “virtual camera” gets rid of many of the negatives that usually hold CG movies from being realistic. The entire world was affected and there was cohesion beyond anything before it. About the 3-D, I usually believe that 3-D is a headache (both in the fact that it usually does not help the telling of the story and in that it usually gives me a headache). However, in such a rich world, the 3-D was used to fully flush out this already amazingly rich and cohesive world.
