Movie Review: Avatar (2009)



"Avatar" Another master piece from James Cameron. I would give a 10 out of 10 for this movie.
I was so excited after watching the movie that, I was telling myself that... I am even ready to pay 10 times more than what I paid for the movie ticket..or even my one months salary.. I don't mind.

If I am giving a 10 on 10 then you bet me there's something in the movie..you don't believe me..Then I am going to tell you that this is the first English movie I am watching in a cinema hall after "Titanic"..that was in 1997. So..I guess you got a feel of how choosy I am about English movies...

I am not going to give you the story of the film..but will tell you the background. Rest you watch on the screen.

Avatar movie talks about human invasion of a planet called Pandora... 4.3 light years away from earth.
That means you need to travel 4.3 years at the speed of light to reach there...The story happens in the year 2154...And we have space crafts which can travel more than that speed.

Humans have already reached Pandora  when the story begins...and we have military base there..

There are a few scientists in Pandora military base ..who's mission is to bond with the Pandora people( called Navi's ).

The human military aim is to invade Pandora and capture natural energy resource of Pandora..called Unobtanium.. During the course of the movie they discover that Unobtanium is available under a massively big tree....where Pandorans live..and Humans..want to evacuate Pandora's from the Big tree and capture the Unobtanium...

Pandora's are blue colored human like beings...but  twice or 4 times the size of humans.. They look like tribal people..or more like monkeys..they have a tail..also...

Since humans can not breath in Pandora's atmosphere..scientists have developed a Navi-Human breed, which looks and walks like a Navi. This Navi-Human breed is called "Avatar". There is a device which can link Avatar's body with Human brain...

There are many Avatar's in the mission but one of them...the Hero...becomes "The Avatar"..

Apart from the story...its a  real visual master piece ..a three dimensional(3D) movie..you need to wear special lenses to watch it...Though it takes 10 to 15 minutes to get adjusted to the 3D environment..its really amazing..

There were shots where I had in fact moved my head not to get hit by one of the gas cans or missiles shot to Pandora's by Human soldiers..

Initially when I saw the posters of Avatar..and the animated character..I was not interested...as I am not a big fan of human like animated characters....But James Cameron..has changed my mind set totally..nobody can tell that they are not real...

I have even fallen in love with the lead lady Pandorea's character..she is attractive too..her eyes..facial expression everything so natural...so real... that... you forget the fact that she is just an animated 3D character...

Altogether Avatar is a must watch...don't miss it.
