SO here it goes my first review , so i thought why not review the most talked,debated,discussed and heard about movie of 2009....James cameroons Avatar.. First guys let me tell when i heard about avatar and i saw its trailer ...i didnt have much expectations..looked like an movie adaptation of the animated movie delgo...no one had a clue what the story was like or what the theme of the movie was goona be...months later avatar was released and cameroon had once again struck gold the director of titanic(dicaprio's start) , true lies , terminator 1 and 2 (which made arnold the man he is today) and aliens had once again worked his charm on the audience.....i didnt watch avatar first day first show as i was skeptical about the movie and waited for an opinion..laterwards waited for a good 3d running theatre to go to...but believe the waiting was worth it...what cameroon had managed to do was take the audience to that place in his head which he had dreamt of all these years but didnt have the technology to create it (he should have just contacted steve jobs or bill gates ,they would have had it).
Theres two kind of people who come out of the theatre watching avatar ..the ones astonished by it and ones left clueless by it....avatar is a joy ride like a childs fantasy you dont look for the clear cut plot or well executed dialouges ..ur in it for the experience ...remember Jurrasic park which is the scene u remember the most t rex scene or the boring scene where they discuss the chaos theory scene...thats my point .....people who are left angry , confused by avatar is because u've left behind the child in you when u came to the theatre... Avatar provides a visual treat for the eyes and also a treat for the ears...but i still felt a look of a good background score for the movie(a hans zimmer or john williams would have done nicely)....
Here's a small synopsis for those who still havent seen it(losers)........
AVATAR takes us to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on an epic adventure, ultimately fighting to save the alien world he has learned to call home.
We enter the alien world through the eyes of Jake Sully, a former Marine confined to a wheelchair. But despite his broken body, Jake is still a warrior at heart. He is recruited to travel light years to the human outpost on Pandora, where corporations are mining a rare mineral that is the key to solving Earth's energy crisis. Because the atmosphere of Pandora is toxic, they have created the Avatar Program, in which human "drivers" have their consciousness linked to an avatar, a remotely-controlled biological body that can survive in the lethal air. These avatars are genetically engineered hybrids of human DNA mixed with DNA from the natives of Pandora... the Na'vi. Reborn in his avatar form, Jake can walk again. He is given a mission to infiltrate the Na'vi, who have become a major obstacle to mining the precious ore. But a beautiful Na'vi female, Neytiri, saves Jake's life, and this changes everything. Jake is taken in by her clan, and learns to become one of them, which involves many tests and adventures. As Jake's relationship with his reluctant teacher Neytiri deepens, he learns to respect the Na'vi way and finally takes his place among them. Soon he will face the ultimate test as he leads them in an epic battle that will decide nothing less than the fate of an entire world.
