James Cameron's Avatar coming to Birmingham IMAX
James Cameron's much-hyped 3-D sci-fi blockbuster Avatar is to land in Birmingham's IMAX cinema this December.
The movie is released on December 18 after two years in the making to craft the jaw-dropping special effects needed.
It tells the tale of Jake, a paraplegic war veteran, brought to the planet Pandora where he inhabits the body of an avatar to help with a mining operation.
Trouble is, the local humanoids - a race called the Na'Vi - are getting a raw deal, and Jake ends up leading them against his own military commanders.
Most of the movie is computer-generated, and VIPs given a sneak 24-minute preview report that it pushes the boundaries of film-making.
It ends in the mother of all space battles, making Star Wars look like a push and shove in the schoolyard.
And, of course, it's got Sigourney Weaver and Zoe Saldana, too.
Keep a watch here and on the IMAX site for dates and times.
