I see you... Please read my "Avatar" pun-filled review!!

Rating: 8/10 (18 January 2010)

True Blue, baby I love you. Well, I would not go that far but those Cameron crazies are definitely milking the love of James Cameron's long-awaited science fiction phenom "Avatar". It is racking in the millions, and will probably sink Cameron's "Titanic" as the most profitable film of all time. "Avatar" is Cameron's vision of a planet named Pandora inhabited by the Na'vi tribe; a blue-skinned, yellow-eyed humanoid race with their own language, culture, and spirituality. The only difference that "In The Na'vi" you cannot put your mind at ease since they exactly do not put up the welcome mats to the general human race. That is where the Avatarados come in! The Avatar program is one where they mix the DNA of humans and Na'vis to convert into the look of a Navi and mechanically zip your way into Pandora's Box. Our "Avatar" hero is Jake Sully, a paraplegic war veteran, who in exchange for some legs promised by a ruthless Colonel Quaritch, enters the Avatar program to infiltrate the Na'vi people so the human army can conquer Planet Pandora. Sully however does not follow the Avatar game plan and ends up bonding with the Na'vis and falls in love with the beautiful Na'vette, Neytiri. I guess Neytiri did give Jake some blueballs during their "whoopee" session. Anyway, Sully becomes more connected to his Avatar self than his real self. The Army of greedy humans become disconcerted with Jake's Na'vi love and decide to overcome the tribe with grandiose mechanical machines. Jake & the Na'vis are not alone in this fight. Jake also has his Avatar mates to aid him: the Avatar expert scientist Dr. Grace Augustine and the smarty sidekick Norm Spellman. Not to mention the sarcastic female Private Trudy Chacon who rebels against Colonel Quatrich's ruthless antics to eradicate the Na'vi tribe. Director James Cameron's titanic direction of "Avatar" is one revolutionary wizardry piece of work that is definitely groundbreaking in the future of the science fiction genre. The film's Art Direction, Cinematography, Make-Up, and Special Effects- not to get too technical, was a technical masterpiece. Sam Worthington as Sully and Zoe Saldana as Neytiri were solid with their starring performances. Worthington was worthy with his sly work and Saldana was not "killing Zoe" with her expressive thespian effort. The supporting acting of "Avatar" did not make me blue also. Most notably: Sigourney Weaver as Dr. Augustine and Michelle Rodriguez as Chacon. However, the villainous Colonel Quartich was played a bit over the top by Stephen Lang. My only true blue note of "Avatar" was Cameron's monotonous screenplay; especially during the Sully & Neytiri so-called love scenes, a bit too Pocahontas-like for my taste. But "Avatar" is not primarily about the words is about the vision. And I see you, I mean I see "Avatar" as an epical science fiction film that will stand the test of time in the history of motion pictures. **** Good
