Avatar (2009) ****
Now every body got their answer to their Question why James Cameroon didn’t make even a single movie after a sensational Titanic.After 12 years James Cameroon comes with Avatar which breaks through boundaries of film making technology. New experiences make new practices,and new practices make new culture.This is one such.There was a period when a generation grew watching Star wars,then it was Jurassic Park and then came Matrix and now its for next generation.Avatar.Avatar can not be just branded as a movie it just redefines the art of story telling to presentation.With Avatar James Cameroon delivers the richest and new to earth experience a viewer can ask for !
Pandora far away from Earth , human “Sky men’ and the animated humanoid inhabitants of Pandora, the Na'vi, engage in a war over the planet's resources .Jake a paralysed Ex US Marine operative enters in to the Pandora world through the Avatar program designed in space.Jake meets Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) a Na’vi princess who takes Jake to their community.Jake gets in to the world of Na’vi ,then the war begins.
Cameroon wrote this script in 1994 and he started his work in 1997 ,Understandably it took 12 yrs to make this movie in to a complete form.Cameroon doesn’t want to depend on stars ,he relied more on his imagination and technology.The movie begins in a slow pace ,it builds in its own pace till it comes to the new world Pandora and we anticipate a thing which we havent seen or experienced before ! It was the same feeling which I had awaiting to look at the first Dinosaur in the screen when I watched Jurassic park fifteen years ago.When Jake becomes a Na’vi animated humanoid we are informed that we are about to enter in to a completely new experience.The movie uses a stereoscopic cameras which can simulate human sight.Rich colors and combination of the visuals makes this a very rare experience on screen.I would call it rare only for this movie because movies have to follow from here taking on the technology,In a way it becomes a trendsetter for future movies.
The movie is engaging for the 163 minutes and it has details for the time. The Pandora Jungle,the wildlife creation,hanging mountains,the fauna ,mythological symbols are absolutely out of the imagination for any type of viewer.Can you believe Cameroon worked Linguistic organisations to develop a new language of Na’vi ?,The newly designed Helicopter wings gives a small example of the detailing of this movie.Ebert tells Avatar is destined to launch a cult ! True indeed that it just creates a new wave for the movie making in a format in which imagination and skill works with technology to bring up a experience than a movie.
Watching this movie I felt that am not missing any part ; emotions.actions.human story,alien story what not.Its complete package and its exhaustive also in a overwhelmed manner.Avatar is one of the great movie of our times and it would be a reference for the generations.And at last I feel 250$ being spent in such a intelligent and imaginative manner to give a life time experience.Its booked all the way for the week ,watching in 3D will give a greater experience so wait for your tickets and watch it for sure in 3D.

Any information on sequel or trilogy
Expecting it
i read the actors were signed for possible sequel.I read in wikipedia
But its "possible" as of now nothing confirmed
thanks bro!!!
i saw a article in TOI.. imagine Humans as greedy Americans..Na'vi as Iraqi or Irani..the energy resource they search as Oil.. and finally they dont find anything...Cameron is cunning :P
Apart from that the storyline, I thought could have been better. Probably Cameron concentrated more on the SFX part, that he missed on the plot of the movie. But definitely, when you come out of the movie hall, you are still in that awe...
hey we are in sync this time :)))
I accept da,he has concentrated more on the SFX part and the colors.But one thing he was never a great story maker ,he always makes movies on invasion of one force to another.Like any of his movie this also falls in tothe same category.even i felt there is a need for a good plot in these movies also but this movie just manages to make us forget the expectation !!! Its intelligent in that way.
I'm looking forward for your review on the latest Indian sensation "Vettaikaran"... LOL
I will catch up with Vettaikaran this week.
Good review. Please do watch Vietnam Colony 1993 (Tamil Movie), starring Prabhu, Koundamani...... Lolz...:-)
