James Cameron's Avatar was released on the 17th of December and to me is really one of most interesting and memorable movies this whole year. It has everything in it from Adventure, Aliens, Action, Love, Biodiversity and features moralistic themes concerning nature's importance in life ( Gaia theory expanded), human's insatiable greed for the ever elusive profit no matter the cost, the acceptance of another culture or in this case the Na'Vi, and militaristic themes similar to our current world America which prefers military action than diplomacy. There was a quote in the movie where SecFor's Colonel Miles Quaritch (the antagonist) said "Fight terror with terror" sounds familiar?.
According to Aaron, how can anyone not fall in love with the Na'Vi?, they walk around in the 2 hours and 30 minutes movie dressed in nothing but strips of cloth. I guess Aaron was more interested in Neytiri, a princess of the Na'vi tribe than the breath taking scenery which is seriously so real (Fun fact: the movie was estimated to have cost around 200 to 300 million or more)
The promo pictures for the movie featuring the colorful forest of Pandora which has its roots in 1990 when the film was first thought of. (Fun Fact In December 2006, Cameron explained that the delay in producing the film since the 1990s had been to wait until the technology necessary to create his project was advanced enough,to create Avatar at that time was near impossible as it would need hundreds of millions)
A Samson (i think thats the name) helicopter landing in the lush and dangerous jungles of pandora.
There was even a tie in movie game made by ubisoft for all platforms using the same technology as the film to be displayed in stereoscopic 3D. The graphics are as breathtaking and surreal as the movie but apparently according to most gamers the story is bland and linear, so i guess this game is only for those interested in seeing more of avatar's world, Pandora.
Looks realistically like the movie. The gamer has the choice of choosing the side of the marines (humans or in this case the marines Armoured Suit) or the Na'Vi who fights the marines to protect their land with spears, bows, and arrows (seems weird to have primitive weapons fighting with armored suits, machine guns and armed to the teeth helicopters)
Two Thumbs and toes up for James's Cameron Avatar which is his first film in over a decade but yet still manages to capture the heart of the audience. (Fun fact:James Cameron's Titanic still holds the all-time box-office champ) For those who haven't watch it yet i highly recommend it but seriously go to the toilet before going into the cinema because you won't want to leave your seat once the movie's magical enchantment works on you keeping yours eyes glued to see more. A word of caution though most people will probably get bored in the beginning and put off by the long winded show, so be patient and you won't regret it.-Fs- Can't sleep...dammit...im so dead today...i don't know how im going to last...abit off lately...must be crazy...
