Movie Review: Avatar


James Cameron returns 10 years after his lackluster movie 'Titanic', which was what I thought a movie that did not live up to Cameron's status , especially comparing to the first two Terminator movies, which he by the way produced, and it also did not live up to this new incredible movie which he directed, wrote, and produced, called 'Avatar'.
Avatar, is one of those movies that sends a message, a message of independence, and of defending a nation, or a home land, or something like that, but that message may be ignored because of the very realistic effects, that's not a bad thing, but with all those magnificent effects which gave this movie a complete world of its own, kind of makes it harder for people to get the message, but still, it was a very entertaining message, and the way that message was provided was also very entertaining, it was provided through an action packed science fiction movie, which, I think is one think that actually glamorizes the message within the movie.
Avatar also has a strong story, about a solder named Jake Sully, who was played by Sam Worthington, and by the way, his performance in the movie was excellent, anyway, it's about a solder named Jake Sully, who's legs are paralyzed, and then he enters a mission, which allows him to be one of the Navi alien life-forces, and warn them that there home tree, which is their power source, will be taken down, but throughout the movie, Sully grows closer to them, and begins to act as one of them, and of coerce, thought this story, there came some very entertaining and fun action scenes, whether it's a battle scene, or it's just a straight out adventurous scene, it all seemed to work out very well in the movie.
Avatar also had some very creative ideas, such as creating a whole race, or creating the whole world or something like that, most of those creative ideas where very entertaining, but some ideas felt very stupid and corny, such as the whole pony tail idea, where they just connect them to a big tree or each other or something, I found that very silly and stupid, but other than that hiccup, the movie seemed to be very powerful.
Avatar is overall, one of those movies that sends political and environmental messages in ways that people could not think of, in very entertaining ways which are new and action packed, Avatar is close to being a perfect movie, but it's not, due to one hiccup, one hiccup that truthfully, was stupid, but part of the movie could not be done without it, but other than that, the movie was a fun and entertaining action si-fi, which deserves to be one of the most entertaining movies ever.
