It’s the cinematographic case of the year, released on December 14, the sequel still signed by James Cameron is leading many Italians to very dangerous madness, just to see it.
13 years after the accident that changed animation cinema forever, opening new perspectives to the fusion of 3D technology and poetry, Avatar returns to strike the hearts and imaginations of viewers around the world.
In Italy, unfortunately, it risks hitting hard wallet too. Be careful if you are thinking of doing a seemingly innocent splurge, but which can cost you dearly.
There is no longer a ticket
Not even to pay for it gold: launched on December 14, with studied synchronicity with the Christmas holidays, Avatar immediately “spliced” the box offices, registering a real assault on pre-sales. After 14 from the launch, the hopes of finding a ticket for one of the numerous Italian cinemas that project it, is reduced to a flicker. Luck is not enough, it is necessary to bow to a real black market, which is already illegal in itself.
The film, again directed by James Cameron, as rarely happens in sequels, this time it’s shot from life. The story is then even more exciting: the animation becomes reality: Jake Sully and Neytiri, they meet again, after a long time, and this time they are a family with children, marriage problems, small joys, big problems. A nucleus in which spectators can reflect themselves, as well as dream, and from this probably arises the incredible success with the public, which echoes that of an enthusiastic critic.
The trick that can cost dearly
While finding a ticket in the hall has become a mirage, and for the official streaming it will still be necessary to wait months (yes talk about February or even March) a typically Italian plague has begun to profile: “parallel” or illegal streaming sites.
There can be many ways to make a film “escape” from theaters. From the “mole” nestled at the distributor, to the filming done in theaters during the first days of programming. There have always been and unfortunately always will be clandestine copies in circulation, for sale, and even for streaming of “official” films.
But if until a few years ago, before the diffusion of the internet, the risk of a copy pirate was to see little and badly a copy of poor quality, as well as risking seizure and a hefty fine, with illegal streaming the risks are catastrophic.
You can lose everything
Scam sites pay you the same as legal ones, but once they have your credit card information, scammers are unlikely to be satisfied with having earned the price of a stream. Once you have your card details may charge you for goods and services up to the limits of the ceiling on your card and, in the most unfortunate cases, emptying your current account down to the last cent.
Illegal streaming isn’t just against the law, it doesn’t just risk costing you fines and penalties. It can cost you all your savings. And in most cases, without even showing you the movie you bought. Don’t fall for it like chickens. Better to wait a few days than losing their money, enriching fraudsters with offices in tax havens.
