Just outstanding!

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2010)

I have to say, I was a bit skeptical before watching this movie, I thought: "Oh well, this is just gonna be another alien movie about a guy, who one way or another is gonna end up saving the day mixed with some weird "Lord of the Rings" character look-alikes, you know the whole language deal they have got going on...". The thing that probably struck me the most is that, James Cameron didn't just take back characters from our mental repositories and make them his own (reinventing elves, gnomes or whatever); his intentions were clear: he was going to create a world none of us would have ever thought, not in thousands of years, could be invented. It's so much more than a dramatic or a romantic or a Sci-Fi movie, it's just meticulous the way he put it all together so that no genre ever known to mankind (except for horror) was left out and so that none took over the other. All the creatures were just so incredibly surreal, but at the same time each one of them belonged in this movie. There is a great message hidden along the lines here, a message we should all pay close attention to: we should try and stop destroying our own planet before it's too late, I am not saying stop with the research and all the breakthroughs that have yet to come, I am just saying: let's move forward and at the same time cherish what we have left of our planet, let's learn a lesson from the people of Pandora!
