Good Movie

Rating: 10/10 (11 December 2011)

Avatar The movie Avatar is a great movie that shows people that when we as humans want something we will stop at nothing to get it. Even if that means we destroy sacred things in the process. The theme of this movie is nothing good can come from being greedy.
The actors in this movie are Sam Worthington as Jake Sully, Zoe Saldana as Neytiri, Sigourney Weaver as Grace, Stephen Lang as Colonel Miles Quaritch, and Michelle Rodriguez as Trudy Chacon.
In the beginning of Avatar Jake is transported to Pandora to take over the work of his brothers Avatar. Jake is asked to do this because his brother was shot and killed. Once Jake reaches Pandora he is briefed on protocols and is shown around the compound. While looking around Colonel Miles asks him if he would get inside information from the Navi for him while using his avatar. He wanted him to get this information so the army could use it against them and get them to leave the site they wanted without causing an invasion. He also wanted Jake to convince them to leave Hometree. Colonel Miles tells Jake that if he can do this for him he will make sure he walks again. Of course Jake agrees because he knows nothing about the Na'vi, he wants to walk again, and it's his marine nature to follow the requests of an officer.
Once Jake goes out into Pandora in his avatar he gets left behind and comes face to face with some of its creatures. While he is trying to save himself Neytiri saves him and becomes really upset because the creatures didn't have to die. She tells him to go back, but he continues to follow her. She sees the seeds of Ewya landing on him and then tells him to follow her.
After this encounter with Jake she eventually takes him to meet her parents and the rest of the Navi. He goes to Hometree and tells Neytiri's mother that he is a dream walker and that he is there to learn about them. Neytiri's mother than tastes Jake's blood and realizes it is the will of Ewya for him to be one them and Neytiri is supposed to teach him. He is learning more and more each time he comes back as his avatar and eventually gets to know why the Na'vi won't leave Hometree. He learns that it is a there home and it houses all of them in it. He also learns that the Tree of Souls is very important to the Na'vi because they can bond with it and learn from their ancestors. Jake tells the Colonel that there is no way the Na'vi will leave. This is where the Colonel decides it is time for war. He thinks this is the only way to get what he wants. He doesn't care that he will be destroying the sacred places of these people and their homes. This is where his greed gets in the way of what is right. The Colonel prepares for war and takes it to the Na'vi. He starts destroying Hometree. The Na'vi are fleeing and scared they cannot believe this is happening. They flee to the Tree of Souls and regroup.
Once at the tree of souls Jake decides to talk to the tree and ask for help. He also speaks with the other Na'vi and they decide they need to ask the other Na'vi clans for help. They decide to help. The war breaks out and the Na'vi start fighting back and when you think all hope is lost the animals of the planet come to the rescue and help. Neytiri says Ewya answered the request and has helped them. Jake is found by Colonel Miles in the camp and tries to kill the human Jake. Neytiri finds him and shots the Colonel with an arrow and saves Jake. After the Na'vi win the war basically Jake decides he wants to be a Na'vi permanently. He is then taken to the Tree of souls and Neytiri's mother asks the tree if she can make Jake one of them. At the end of the movie Jake is now a Na'vi and this is where he belongs.
This movie shows that nothing good can come from being greedy. The humans started a war with a native race of Pandora for a metal. They were willing to kill people and destroyed their homes for this mineral. Since the Colonel was so greedy innocent people lost their lives. Two techniques that were present in this movie were the colors and the computer generated imaging. The colors in this movie were amazing. There were dull colors when there were scenes at the compound. These were colors that we see every day. They are the normal colors for us humans. On Pandora the colors were rich and vibrant. They brought the planet to life and showed us just how amazing it was. These colors were bright and vibrant. They showed us just how alive everything was. The computer generated imagery was amazing. It played a big part in this movie because it is what made the avatars. They took the pictures of the actors and fused it with some graphics and made the avatars look just like the actors real faces. It was amazing they looked so real.
