Was everything a CG work...you must be kidding...incredible

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2009)

Avatar is a must watch movie not only for the making and awesome CG work but for the humanity which every man needs. We all speak of Global Warming and all the other things like apocalypse in 2012. We forget that everything is a by product of our greediness in making money virtually from everything. Same thing in the movie too.
Set in the future(2154 AD), the Sky people (we humans are referred so) create genetically engineered human-Na'vi(the aliens) hybrid called Avatars and make them live with the people of Pandorra(the fictional planet). I don't why humans are always shown in bad light in most of the English movies with certain exceptions like Independence day etc. But yes the truth is quite disturbing. Humans destroy everything that is so precious to this world. Here they need unobtainium, a rare mineral found only in pandorra.
One happy news is that the US military which is always "portrayed as the so called best and the saviors of the world " is no longer that way in this movie. They are indeed the villains. Other than that the story line will force some critics to call this movie "banal and full of clichés". Artists performance is good. Special mention to the CG team. Everything is so real.
When I walked out of the movie theatre, I couldn't resist the thought of " What the hell is happening in Copenhagen?" . We have to understand one thing, Development is good but its not that good when that development destroys things that are so unique and precious to this world.
