Storyline average but GR8 ANIMATION

Rating: 7/10 (27 January 2010)

Avatar is a Sci Fiction Film that takes some aspects of The Matrix(1999). The common aspects are that in both the movies mind plays the game,the machines that are used for fighting purposes are almost similar to those in The Matrix. Now for the theme where the creature has to be controlled(it reminds me of the Man->Beast relation in The Golden Compass. Even The storyline has some elements of The Matrix like 1.In The Matrix Oracle Determines whether he is the ONE or not, here it is Moat who determines his fate. 2. In The Matrix Morpheus and Trinity Believes in Neo while here it is Neytiri. 3. In The Matrix Neo is brought to save the planet from destruction,the same happens here with Jake. The Storyline was also predictive.
Even the name of the film refers to Hindu Mythological Term.In Hinduism, Avatar or Avatara, refers to a deliberate descent of a deity from heaven to earth, and is mostly translated into English as "incarnation", but more accurately as "appearance" or "manifestation", as it corresponds more closely to the view of Docetism in Christian theology, as distinct from the idea of incarnation in mainstream Christology and its implication of God 'in the flesh Even though James Cameron got the idea's from these movies, he has setup the film in such a way that the people watching will go fanatic. The animation sequences along with the special effects create a dynamic environment for the viewers.
I watched Avatar in 3D and it brought life to the cinema.This experience can only be felt. Also Huge Congrats to James Cameron for not letting us down after the Movie Titanic(1997). I always used to check with IMDb of the Legendary Directors and always wondered why he didn't do T3&T4(except for 1 or more episodes of Sarah Connor Chronicles).
In Short-> This film is breathtaking,162 min non stop animation film that makes you believe that you too are into this world.
