Featuring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver the story is of a future conflict between humans (who are there only for the resources!) and the indigenous inhabitants of the planet Pandora: the Na’vi.

Humans can’t breathe Pandoran air, so paraplegic marine Jake volunteers to become an Avatar: a genetically engineered half human/half Na’vi controlled via a mental link. Sent to scout out the `enemy`, Jake falls for the Na’vi princess, Neytir, forcing him to choose sides when the conflict escalates into full-blown war.

3D gaming

Avatar 3D gaming

I’ve just been into Microdirect’s shop on Upper Brook Street in Manchester to try out their 3D gaming experience. It’s fantastic! You put on the glasses and can play the game Avatar. It’s quite amazing and you can really get a sense of it being 3D especially when someone walks towards you … that’s quite spooky!

Micro Direct 3D gaming

You’ll need a Viewsonic 22″ monitor VA2268WM 120Hz Nvidia 3D Vision READY widescreen and a NVIDIA 3D VISION KIT – AVATAR EDITION, and the NVIDIA GEFORCE 3D VISION GLASSES!

If you’re a serious gamer then you will need this bit of kit!

Another 3D film – Alice in Wonderland

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Odeon has reversed its decision to boycott Tim Burton’s new 3D film version of Alice in Wonderland following talks with Disney.
You can view a clip of the film at the above link – and it really does look amazing!
This Tim Burton film should be at cinemas from March 5th!
They’ve been arguing about how long it should be shown before it goes to Blu-ray disc.

Mia Wasijowska plays Alice. Johnny Depp plays the Mad hatter! Helena Bonham Carter plays the Red Queen.

Alice in Wonderland is bound to be amazing.

Avatar was the first 3D film released.
