Avatar (2009) Directed by: James Cameron After many years and a long journey to a faraway planet called Pandora, Jake Sully's brother has died along the way. His brother's genes were taken from him to grow an avatar. This avatar is a mixed clone of Jake's brother's DNA and of the DNA of the N'avi people on Pandora. Jake, a paraplegic marine, must do his brother's duties in finding more about their world. He is an avatar by day who can run and walk. Then, at night, he has to come back to reality. In his reality, he cannot walk. The whole reason Jake accepts this job is so he can have the ability to walk again. Since this movie is set in the future, with enough money he can have surgery to walk again. His assignment is to convince the N'avi people to move from their home so that the American government can find what lies underneath.
The graphics in this movie are incredible. The audience connects with the characters and become attached with the world. Jake is a very dynamic character. The characters in the movie are very round and have a more realistic affect in their emotions. Sigourney Weaver had done an incredible job of playing a tough character and yet were gentle with the N'avi people. The main character, Jake Sully, who is portrayed by Sam Worthington, had also done a good job at showing that people aren't always their job. He shows that there are more important things in life than money. The interesting thing about James Cameron is that he likes to make people think outside of the box. He depicts our government just as he feels like it would be if we found another planet with life on it. The audience feels an attachment with the N'avi people. Avatar shows that authority can be the biggest threat of all. I felt like Cameron's message was that we need to reach out to nature because it was given to us and we should respect it and sometimes people need to be altruistic and do the right thing. I wanted to seriously go to Pandora. This was a multimillion dollar movie that was worth seeing in the movie theater. I don't like 3D movies but I enjoyed watching it in 3D. The downside to this movie was that it was over 2 hours long. This movie was worth watching and the message behind it was laid out to make people think.
