Wish people saw the movie the way I saw it!

Rating: 9/10 (9 October 2018)

I'm not sure what happened since the first time I saw this back in like 2010 but now in 2018 I just rewatched it, or rather gotten lost in the characters in this beautifulworld, twice within 48 hours. I have now cried 3 times. I don't care if the plot is original, it's not, it's still a good story. I dont care if the script is perfect, it's a little awkward at times, but the characters were still fleshed out well. I believe it's beautiful and a needed story. I fell in love with Jake Sully. I liked how he was an everyday guy and I LOVED his quiet strength, something I would find characteristic of a marine. I too fell in love with the forest, with the people, with Nyteri. I felt the actors brought such raw, realistic performances. The chemistry between the characters was extremely believable, I felt the two dimensionalness. And, unpopular opinion I supose, I absolutely loved Sam Worthington in this movie I thought he brought something so different than what you would expect from a lead in an action movie. (I'm so sad about how his career turned out. I really hope the next few movies help him reshape his acting and place him back on track for success) but I think Zoe Sladana was the show stealer for sure. I truly believed her as an alien.
And, yes, I am a sucker for a good romance. I really believed and felt the two's love for each other. (it's lame but I just want the 2nd movie to expand on their relationship and life together after the movie) All in all, if it's not an emotional journey for you like it was for me, that's ok, it's at least an awesome action movie with pretty dang cool CGI.
