Title: AVATAR (Lightstorm Entertainment)Genre: Action, Adventure, Science Fiction
Personal Rating: 9/10
"I see you..."
James Cameron, director of Titanic, the Highest Box Office Grossing Film of all time, has bet down all his cards into his latest and his most ambitious masterpiece yet.
Ex-marine and paraplegic Jake Sully was sent to a human settlement on a distant planet, given another chance to prove his worth by piloting a genetically-bred alien body known as an avatar. His mission was to keep a close relationship with the planet's indigenous alien tribe known as the Na'vi, as well as spy on them. While on a mission, he becomes lost, and was taken by the Na'vi people. He was taught their ways and beliefs, but was still spying as to how the race can be annihilated to be able to collect a vast mine of expensive ores right below the alien's village. When time came for the mission to proceed to its planned drastic measures, he had already found his place in the Na'vis and fell in love with a spirited Na'vi woman. Caught between a fierce battle of his own human kind and the Na'vi alien tribe, Jake must make a difficult decision as to what race his heart really belongs to.
The film teaches us the valuable lesson of searching for one's true identity and for our right place in this world. Where your heart is, that's where you belong, and finding it is what's going to make you truly happy.
Honestly, it never occurred into my mind that there was such a film like Avatar that was going to be shown. When Avatar was mentioned, I always thought of Avatar, the Last Airbender (which has it's own film by the way, showing this year 2010). The film's plot was quite simple and predictable, yet it envelopes everything with stunning visual effects, great cinematography, and wonderful acting from the cast -- and that includes the computer-generated cast by the way, which reminded me of Gollum, the CGI character in The Lord of The Rings Trilogy. CGI characters in both films have unbelievable lifelike emotions on their facial gestures.
This was my first IMAX 3D movie by the way, the one where you get to wear those funny plastic eyeglasses to make everything look 3-dimensional (else if you don't wear them, the screen will look blurry and make your head ache). The movie ended with a standing ovation and a cheering applause from the audience, the loudest from me.
It is quite difficult to make an ordinary story into an extraordinary film, and yet Avatar succeeded. Avatar the Movie has started a brand new era in the world of filmmaking -- a must-see movie not because it is the best, but because it made a difference.
