Avatar (2009) Pro's, Con's, and Visaul Effects

I give Avatar a 9. 99999 / 10 It was a incredible movie. I knew it was going to a great movie when I hear Alex Alvarez, the director of Gnomon a vfx school in La was brought in to work on the creatures for the movie. The movie was intense I could tell just by watching that it had the most compositing work I've ever seen in one movie, and hearing the budget they had for the movie I could why. It brought me into a world I didn't want to end, and the movie being a 3D and visaul effects artist myself really intimediated for a while. It was fantastic and cutting edge. I loved the storyline. There were 2 scenes though that stick out in my head that make it so I can't give them the full 10. First hen the main guy escaped the burning helicopter in the mobile suit. The scene was really done, but after landing did he really have to take a few seconds to pose for the camera. Yea, it would've made a great poster, but it took me out of the movie for a little. Second, the scene where Jake Sully the main character was about to die because he couldn't breathe and the shot was when they did a close-up of his hand on Neytiri's face the main female chacacter. The shot didn't look like it was composited to the background very well. The camera shake felt really weird, and the Jake's human hand you could tell was Cg, but consider the amount of compositing that when into this 2hr 42min movie I'm surprised I didn't see more things like that. But this is one of my favorite movies, and hopefully see again this time in imax.
