I the 2010 promises to be really full of news on the front of digital use content, many of those who shake their wrists these content printing them on paper, support that seems destined to fall sharply at a rapid rate this year.

He was certainly news to the statement of Jeff Bezos , CEO of Amazon , who said that on the day of Christmas purchases e-book passed those traditional books ( to read obviously kindle , e-book reader Amazon the same: the 'best-selling item in the history of the company).

Cameron has re-created an entire fantasy world, Pandora , populated by plants, animals and the original indigenous population, all done live with a realism and a visual magic never seen before. The 3D is used with restraint and serves to make it even more immersive experience.

And what about the story? On this has been said that it is a pout-Purri of stories you've seen before: Pocahontas as the main track, including "Dances with Wolves, Apocalypse Now, The Matrix, Rambo, and others. For this reason, the storyline is partly predictable.

We could say that in fact the story is not original, but we believe its development into a magical space like the one created does not diminish the magnitude of this work and the pleasure that comes in ' savor the performance.

do not know, but we like to think that Cameron consciously willed ferry past many stories, making them live in this new fantasy world, as an homage to cinema past and to its audience.
