Great Movie

Rating: 8/10 (4 May 2020)

James Cameron's film "Avatar" is an imaginative action-packed film full of inspiration, that puts love, understanding, morality, and judgment all on the table.
In Avatar you follow Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a wounded ex-marine, who is thrusted into a voyage program to a new planet. The planet is categorized as Pandora amongst scientist. While this planets air is ammonia based and not breathable, it is a world filled with an incredible diversity of beautiful and filled with native deadly native species and lifeforms. Scientist have discovered that beneath the homeland of the natives lie a material worth fortunes that they want to extract, but to do this they must get the natives to move. This is where Jakes adventure begins. The Scientist have synthesized the natives and created a way for a temporary consciousness transfer from a human to these "avatars" to learn the ways of the native indigenous tribe, and due to the death of his brother (original slot in program) Jake is needed because he has compatibility. He finds himself closer to the natives as expected when the planet energy source (ewa) and his guide Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) see something in him. As his love and respect for Neytiri and her people grow, he gets further away from his task. The only thing between the tribe and their destruction is Jake, but he must choose what side he will take fast because the clock is ticking.
This movie successfully gives an audience a different experience that puts this film in a class of its own. The sound effects in this film are nearly perfectly executed. Every creature has its own sound and the forest has its own presence. The lighting is amazing and creative, especially at night. The forest illuminates similar to deep sea life. The setting in this movie is completely created but it is almost like you would not know that unless you knew the movie was fictional. They created an environment that had its own night life. The setting of this film complements the theme so much. Anyone looking for a unique film that successfully applies life concepts and imagination, this would be a great film for them.
