Trying to do impossible: say how much i love that movie :)

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2010)

Well, first of all, that will be my first review on this site, that's because i really got into finding information about Avatar itself, and also reading other reviews. But let's get on with it shall we?
So if anyone does not know (i doubt that) the main plot, i'll put some light on it: It's year 2154, and main character a paraplegic war veteran Jake Sully (Sam Wortinghton) arrives on moon called Pandora, inhabited by the race called Na'vi. Jake was sent there because of death of his twin-brother, who was a part of the Avatar Program. The "avatars" are human-like creatures made from mixed human DNA and the DNA of the native Na'vi. Since Jake has the same genome as his brother, he was chosen to take his place in the program. The whole program is made to improve relationship between the human race and Na'vi. That's because RDA corporation is exploiting valuable mineral called unobtanium located on Pandora. Jake is accompanied by Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver) and Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore). Meanwhile Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) orders Sully, to learn the Na'vi culture, and habits, to help human race in relocating the whole tribe from their home tree.
That's all about the beginning, don't want to spoil whole plot. Well basically, i must state this now, Avatar is the best movie i've seen in my life so far. Why is that so? The first thing is that with budget of approximately 300 mln. $, it's a fact, that you'll get a great movie, no doubts. At least the special effects. And of course, they're AMAZING, but oh well, with so-so plot, nice animations and so on won't keep you entertained all the time, you'll get bored. Also, we got a FANTASTIC soundtrack, it's utterly amazing, and i think that acting was great too (Michelle Rodriguez as Trudy, cute badass pilot, great role, bit underestimated though). But i would never imagine, that i'll look for something deeper than special effects in this kind of movie. And (to my great surprise) i did look for something deeper, and i'm pleased to write that i found it.
I think that's why people mostly hate this movie, is storyline, or i'd rather say THE STORYLINE. Some may say it's predictable, we've seen it before like hundreds of times, nothing new. And i must say that anyone who said that, is damn right, more or less, but he is. But the catch is that we've never seen this story made in such an epic style. When Jake Sully enters this new world, and must learn different lifestyle of Na'vi with help of Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), you learn it with him, you enter the new world with Jake, you feel all his personal feelings, you're having same thought as he do. You start to think: "damn, our world really sucks, i'd want to live on Pandora", just like the main character did. The love story is one of greatest i've ever seen, even it's not a new thing (well, i think we've discovered any kind of love story), but as Jake starts to fall in love with the forest, Na'vi, and Neytiri, you do the same. This movie literally made me cry several times. I had goosebumps throughout whole screening. It's pushing you to reflections about our own world, what we've done to it, that we have forgotten what's right and what's wrong. I think it's solely why people hate this film. They just don't understand it. But well, that's their own opinion, and i respect it.
So Mr. Cameron, when i left the cinema, i was thrilled, shocked and speechless, keep it up that way! You've done a fantastic job, you've gain my respect, and made me to think about how we destroy our own world, and what should we do to stop it. Damn i really need to watch it one more time! :D
