Avatar Review


This is my first blog so hopefully this turns out how I want it.
 James Cameron's Avatar is a magical film of dazzling animation and superb storytelling. A classic in its own time setting it's place among other Cameron science fiction tales as that of The Terminator, The Abyss, and Aliens. Avatar also challenges that of popularity such as Star Wars, Star Trek, and Star Gate. Written, directed, and produced by Cameron who makes his big come back in major motion pictures since his last film Titanic. Cameron does it again in bringing a visual masterpiece to the screen. A simple yet intriguing story of the human invasion on a the deep space moon called Pandora who's inhabited by the native creatures called the Na'vi. Marine Jake Sully payed by Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation) is given the opportunity after losing the ability of his legs to be placed in a coincided Na'vi body called an Avatar in which he would be able to walk and run as if he had never lost his leg ability. Jake takes on the project and finds himself among the real natives who choose to teach him their ways. In the end both the defenseless Na'vi and the greedy powerful humans face off in the final battle for control of the moon and it's resources. The film also stars Zoe Saldana (Star Trek, The Terminal), Sigourney Weaver (Alien, Galaxy Quest), and Stephen Lang (Public Enemies, God's and Generals). I really enjoyed this film and would refer it to anyone who enjoys classic science fiction. The storyline is easy to follow and the acting is well done. It's great to see Sigourney Weaver in a science fiction, Sam Worthington is great for his role, and Zoe Saldana is beautiful. Avatar not only is wonderful to look at but is entertaining as well.
