Avatar Torrent Download – already?

Not surprisingly there already exists a bit-torrent version of Cameron’s dazzling fx flick, Avatar.  Surprisingly, it’s only a telesync version from a Romanian movie theater.  Fox and Cameron’s team have done a remarkable job of keeping the lid on the digital version of this eye candy.  Most movies are available in full screener resolution before it hits theaters.  If studios can turn out eye-popping effects on good scripts, Hollywood will reign and piracy will be less of a threat; it’s a lot harder to pirate the sensory immersion of a 3D movie theater experience.

Will 3D continue to take off?  I don’t think the 3D effect was essential to Avatar.  I can imagine enjoying it equally in 2D.  However, I will say that James Cameron was tastefully understated with the 3D effects.  Not much came jumping out of the screen.

Cameron insists on making all his future films in 3D.  As an aside, I hope Cameron doesn’t make the mistake of assuming that a character in 3D doesn’t necessarily have more depth.  That has to be written and acted.
