The second movie i saw was the well publicized and long awaited 'AVATAR':

At the onset, I have to say, they have totally kept up its hype and reputation. The movie as publicized, was totally worth the 1400 crores they pumped into it. The story line was not that impressive. The special effects and animation, on the other hand was something else, totally out of this world.

The movie demands 3D viewing. Anybody who has not had the opportunity to watch it in 3D should definitely watch it again and in 3D for a totally different and awesome experience.

This actually made me wonder, how do they manage to make that 3D effect in movies so pronounced and realistic. The glasses which we were made to wear for the 3D effect, as I thought, were basically polaroids, so i believe that they make the movie in some way which is polarised to different angles. When these rays are passed through polaroids, they different angles come differently, thus creating the required 3D effect.

If you are not aware, 3D viewing or recording requires at least two cameras so as to capture the angular dimensions of the object being viewed. It is for the same reason that we have two eyes, else we would see the whole world in 2D..imagine....

It is for this same reason that a person who has lost one of his eyes, has no sense of depth, as his brain's 3D comprehension is affected, thus resulting in a loss of his 3D viewing ability.

Will research deeper in this topic and post it soon:)

As of now, coming back to the original topic, an awesome movie, a must watch. In 3D that is...
