A before and an After...but...

Rating: 9/10 (4 January 2010)

Waths to say about avatar, truly a wordy come back for James Cameron who might not be the best director in the world, but he is the most inventive, why? Aliens, Terminator1-2,Titanic. I went to see the film whit high expectation altought i never let my self do that ,i had a feeling i would not be disappointed and i wasn't, the film is visually breath taking ,its the reason why people go to the movies, this film is breath of fresh air, a break from all of those TV series base movies, and remakes. Now the animation, the animation (special effects) is the reason why this film will be remembered,it reached a whole other level, i have seen other films done with animation like Final Fantasy,Beowulf and there good movies but you are aware that you're seeing an animated film, avatar in this case makes you forget that you are seeing animated sequences,animated characters ,and thats what fascinated me, that is was finally possible to do a film in complete animation and that you can feel it as real. For the nature of the film i was expecting to see any outstanding performances, but i was gladly surprised to see two very good ones from Stephen Lang (colonel quaitch) who is mainly a stage actor, but the one that stole the movie in my opinion is Neytiri played by Zoe Saldana, now this is an incredible accomplishment in film making, because a semi animated character gives the best actoral performance of the film,I'm not saying its an academy award winning performance but its a very good one. Now the weakest part of the film its unfortunately the story, its basically a cowboy and Indians story, it came to a point that reminded me of Dances Whit Wolfs, the sequences of him becoming on of the tribe, an recording everything in his log, i just couldn't avoid noticing the similarity. But putting that aside, Avatar its a movie worth you're ticket, and soon worth you're DVD purchase.(not a plug)
