О, дивный новый мир! (Аватар)
Давным-давно в нашей вселенной Джеймс Кэмерон задумал снять фильм о прекрасной планете Пандора, населенной разумными существами, живущими в полной гармонии с окружающим их миром. Кувоему несчастью планета оказалась богата чрезвычайно редким минералом, привлекшим внимание безмерно жадных корпораций с Земли. И спокойствие Пандоры было нарушено. Давным-давно Кэмерону не удалось реализовать свой замысел, ныне же его стараниями на экраны всего мира выходит "Аватар" - фильм который, без всякого сомнения, войдет в историю мирового кинематографа.
Сразу расставим все точки на "и". "Аватар" - ито почему Масштаб постановки и техническое совершенство видеоряда действительно поражают. Привычном для современных зрителей понимании. Весь фильм - это один большой спецэффект.
"Аватар" велик не только технически. Фильм демонстрирует невиданную доселе детализацию. Известная всем дотошность Кэмерона в этом случае достигает своего апогея. Продумано буквально все. Принципиального устройства техники, которую используют люди, до отдельных элементов флоры и фауны Пандоры. Титанические усилия режиссера трудно переоценить.
Не, безусловно, самое главное - это завораживающая красота видеоряда. Переливающийся в темноте всеми цветами радуги животный и растительный миры Пандоры, помноженные на невероятную глубину и четкость картинки, не оставят даже самых придирчивых зрителей равнодушными. Все инопланетные биосферы, которые были представлены ранее в самых лучших фантастических фильмах, являются лишь жалким подобием этого великолепия.
Что касается сюжетной линии, то она весьма незамысловата и постановок Наиболее близкий аналог - это, конечно же, "Пакахонтас", хотя временами действие больше смещается в сторону "Танцев с волками". Однако простота основной идеи ничуть не сказывается на общем восприятии картины. "Аватар" принадлежит к тому редкому типу фильмов, которые в полной мере оправдывают характеристику Голливуда как "фабрики грез".
Джеймсу Кэмерону удалось создать новую сказку, которая не только окажет огромное влияние на развитие всего кинематографа, но и на два с лишним часа вырвет зрителей из обыденной, в основном серой, реальности, раскрыв перед ними удивительный мир гармонии и красоты.

The formula for a sequel movie hit
Katie Allen
Ever wondered why Spider-Man 2 triumphed and Basic Instinct 2 bombed? Now a group of academics have come up with a formula to predict the fortunes of a sequel film.
Hollywood has long known a follow-up to a fairly safe bet and franchise from Pirates of the Caribbean to Star Wars have dominated cinema schedules for years. But until now, decisions about what to invest in a movie sequel or how much to pay for the rights to a franchise have been based on some simple rules of thumb and gut feeling.
On such what what what what what they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they. không phải là một sequel.
"It is the industry of dreams, an industry of illusions, and lots of people go bust. The idea here is to put some more analyal thinking into the process, "says Professor Thorsten Hennig-Thurau, of Cass Business School in London .
With follow-up films enjoying widespread box office success and strong DVD sales, financial investors and film companies compete aggressively to acquire sequel rights. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise was recently sold for $ 60 million (£ 36 million). "I want this industry to recognize that it is not as different to other sectors as it thinks it is. What we are talking about is the brand extension, "says Hennig-Thurau.
The study, which will be published in the Journal of Marketing this month, examined data from all 101 film sequels released in North American cinemas between 1998 and 2006 and a sample of stand-alone films with similar characteriss. According to the formula, the next sequel The Twilight Saga: New Moon should be expected to return $ 34 million more for the producers in its US run a comparable vampire / teen movie romance with the same characteriss that is not a sequel.
"Movies the Twilight sequel to New Moon are highly lucrative and relatively safe bets if key parameters, such as original cast, are maintained," explains Hennig-Thurau. Star continuity is where Basic Instinct 2 went wrong - no Michael Douglas. "The time difference between the two films was very, very long and the continuity actor was halved in that you only had (a much older) Sharon Stone."
On the whole, however, sequels to well and often outperform the original. That is especially true now studios are presenting films as a franchise with a narrative woven throughout several installations. "We are not really talking about sequels any more. We are talking about films that are conceived of as a film. "This is a story, you have got to sk with it," says David Hancock, head of film and cinema at the media research company Screen Digest. Underlining that audience loyalty, Hancock notes in in US last year, just 4.2% of releases were franchise films but they đã thiếu cho 20.6% của box office takings.
The revival of the Star Trek franchise JJ Abrams saw this summer's new £ 21 million gross film in UK cinemas, mà More Than double the return of any of the previous 10 Star Trek feature films. "There is a proven track record," says Mark Batey, chief executive of the Film Distributors' Association.
For film producers fighting poor DVD sales, sequels bring an added benefit. Hennig-Thurau's research showed that DVD sales of the original movie often peaked when a sequel hits the cinema screens. Once that sequel is out on DVD it also has a good chance of strong sales.
DVD charts and cinema rankings containing sequels such as Shrek the Third , Transformers 2 and Ice Age 3 have, of course, incited the wrath of a cris movie about lack of creativity. Cinema-goers have also complained of "sequelitis". Such criism may have been justified in the days when making a sequel was a relatively lazy process.
The Film Distributors' Association is keen to argue that sequel mania is still leave room for original stories. Slumdog Millionaire is one of the top films of 2009 while The Full Monty remains one of the most successful British films ever released. "With 500 films released in the UK cinemas each year, the blockbuster sequels tend to well but there are plenty of other choices for film fans during the year," says Batey.
