Avatar

Avatar is the first True 3D Experience Movie a must watch science fiction recommended for almost every age factors. The film is dramatic feature movie from Academy Awarded winning Titanic and famous Terminator director James Cameron. Cameron and his legion of computer technicians and craftspeople have designed a breathtaking world with fluorescent fauna and creatures. I absolutely love this film along with the effects and digital surround sound is too good.

The main character Jake Sally ( Sam Worthinghon ), a war paraplegic veteran who gets to the depth of the space to pick up the job of his murdered twin brother for the scientific arm of a megacorporation looking to mine the planet of Pandora for a valued ore. Unfortunately the biggest deposit of the substance lies underneath the home of the Na’vi, a ten-foot-tall, blue –skinned native tribe who have been at war with the security arm of the company. Since Jake’s brother already had incredibly expensive Avatar grown for him, he is able to connect with it using the same DNA code and experience the first-hand joy of Pandora while giving the scientific team, led by grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver), some well-needed protection against the planet’s more hostile forces. The main hero finds a new life on the distant planet only to find himself battling humankind alongside the planet’s indigenous Na’vi race in this ambitious epic. Jake endeavors to “ win the hearts and minds “ of the indigenous Pandorans to change their attitude to him. Another issue raised in the movie is living in harmony with the natural environment.

Avatar for me was one of the best films to come out of 2009. The graphics are fantastic, everything is so real. Avatar is a film experience that will be remembered for years to come. J. Cameron has succeeded once more again in creating a wonderful entertaining film with the perfect balance between love, action and mild comedy. In addition to this, the director has taken another step in upgrading the way we watch films in the future. If you have not seen Avatar … what are you waiting for?
