Avatar, my 1st review

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2016)

This is my first review so I will make it short, "Avatar" is the story of an ex-Marine who finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, he finds himself torn between two worlds, in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of the indigenous people. It might be more impressive on a technical level than as a piece of storytelling, but Avatar reaffirms James Cameron's singular gift for imaginative, absorbing film-making. Also Planet Pandora's plant and animal life is done with a wonder that has been often absent from fiction screens.
