A real masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2010)

Avatar is the latest movie from James Cameron. It tells the story of Jake, a paraplegic war veteran, brought to another planet, Pandora, inhabited by the Na'vi, a humanoid race with their own language and culture. Cameron leaves the romantic stories to make what he knows best, an impressive sci- fi/fantasy movie. A combination of CGI and live action, Avatar is full of action and adventure with awesome special effects, a story the captivates and a plot that catches you from the very beginning. It has a very fast paced rhythm for a movie of almost three hours. Avatar has an excellent cast. Sam Worthington as Jake Sully delivers almost flawless performance. Zoe Saldana is very good as Neytiri. Sigourney Weaver in the role of Dr. Grace Augustine is great. Stephen Lang and Giovanni Ribisi both as the bad guys of the movie are very convincing and Michelle Rodriguez as the tough soldier Trudy Chacon with a very good acting job. In conclusion, Avatar is an entertaining and enjoyable movie. Very recommendable and more if its in 3-D.
