Best films of the last decade all over the world
Posted By admin on January 5, 2010
Before saying a final farewell to the last 10 years, here’s an alphabetical list of the 10 live-action films I feel had great impact between 2000 and 2009.
Summing up the output of a 10 period is always a challenge and a joy. I don’t pretend to present this as the definitive list, but here is a handful of films that I believe will have lasting importance:
“Avatar”: Although I didn’t put James Cameron’s epic on my top-10 films of 2009 list, the visually staggering work belongs on a list of the most important films of the decade due to its groundbreaking effects. With his $220 million-plus budget, the Oscar-winning filmmaker (“Titanic”) took us where no man has gone before in terms of visuals.
It’s a mind-bending visual trip that has left audience members wanting more and cemented Cameron’s position as king of the film world.
Like it or not, “Avatar” — with its immersive 3-D and computer-created characters — points the direction in which cinema will be going in the future. Some (including me) may argue that “Avatar” lacks a story with an ounce of originality and that the images echo those of video games, but that doesn’t matter.
Movie fans are flooding theaters to take Cameron’s unforgettable journey to a galaxy far, far away.
