But let's cut to the chase: A fully believable, flesh-and-blood (albeit not human flesh and blood) romance is the beating heart of "Avatar." Cameron has never made a movie just to show off visual pyrotechnics: Every bit of technology in "Avatar" serves the greater purpose of a deeply felt love story.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminent_domain

Eminent domain (United States, Canada), compulsory purchase (United Kingdom, New Zealand, Ireland), resumption/compulsory acquisition (Australia) or expropriation (South Africa and Canada's common law systems) is the inherent power of the state to seize a citizen's private property, expropriate property, or seize a citizen's rights in property with due monetary compensation, but without the owner's consent. The property is taken either for government use or by delegation to third parties who will devote it to public or civic use or, in some cases, economic development. The most common uses of property taken by eminent domain are for public utilities, highways, and railroads[citation needed], however it may also be taken for reasons of public safety, such as in the case of Centralia, Pennsylvania. Some jurisdictions require that the government body offer to purchase the property before resorting to the use of eminent domain. The legal doctrine of eminent domain, like the doctrine of seizure of contraband, allows expropriation of property within the existing system of law. Otherwise, expropriation may imply either a criminal or a revolutionary act.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMAX

Tiger Child, the first IMAX film, was demonstrated at Expo '70 in Osaka, Japan. The first permanent IMAX system was set up in Toronto at Ontario Place in 1971, and is still in operation. During Expo '74 in Spokane, Washington, a very large IMAX screen that measured 90 × 65 ft (27.3 × 19.7 m) was featured in the US Pavilion (the largest structure in the expo). About 5 million visitors viewed the screen, which covered a person's total field of vision when looking directly forward. This easily created a sensation of motion for nearly everyone, and motion sickness in a few viewers. However, it was only a temporary screen for the six-month duration of the Expo. Several years later, a standard size IMAX screen was installed, and is still in operation at the renamed "Riverfront Park IMAX Theatre."

The first permanent IMAX Dome installation, the Reuben H. Fleet Space Theater and Science Center, opened in San Diego's Balboa Park in 1973. The first permanent IMAX 3D theatre was built in Vancouver, British Columbia for Transitions at Expo '86, and was in use until September 30, 2009[4]. It was located at the tip of Canada Place, a Vancouver landmark.

Well, I wouldn't go that far. IMAX has been in existence for close to 4 decades.

大片靠视觉效果取胜，而文艺片比较注重情节和内容。

大概是由于年龄的关系吧，现在去影院看大片觉得很累。

电影终于在众人的煎熬中开始了。看一圈人打麻将，穿着旗袍的四个女子，眼光飘来飘去似暗器，我们惊讶地发现我们中间的一位老同志，已经睡着了。唔，作为艺术欣赏，怎么可以睡着呢？把他推醒，他悄声说：看不懂。然后叮咛邻座的同事：“看到好看的时候，一定要叫醒我！”又放心地睡去了。

终于！好看的场景，终于出现了！一秒千金，于是赶紧去推老同志，老同志睁开眼睛，定睛一看，好看的场景就过去了……
