YOU should see your faces,” says Trudy Chacón starred by Michelle Rodriguez to her colleagues as they fly over Pandora’s “Hallelujah Mountains” for the first time, in a scene from a James Camerons record breaking movie, Avatar. The look on the faces in the audience as they watched ‘Pandora Land’ in cinemas was not any different from that of Michelle’s colleagues – simply one of Awe.

The movie dazzled audiences with its visual wizardry, which has left many filmmakers and studios struggling to figure out when, if ever, viewers can expect an equally striking on-screen experience. With its combination of immense 3-D images and a sophisticated performance-capture technology, the movie has, taken in a world record breaking US $2billion in worldwide ticket sales, much of it from 3-D screens.

Avatar is a science fiction epic film written and directed by Cameron. It stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez and Stephen Lang. The film is set in the year 2154, when humans are mining a precious mineral called unobtanium on the lush moon Pandora in the Alpha Centauri star system.
