A Brilliant Film

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2010)

The planet Pandora looks unraped by man; how this planet used to look. "Relations with the indigenous are only getting worse." "Yeah, that tends to happen when you use machine guns on them." "Now, those savages are threatening our whole operation. We're on the brink of war, and your suppose to be finding a diplomatic solution." Obviously, they didn't use machine guns on them, yet. These are some of the opening lines between Grace, the head of the scientific research team, and Parker Selfridge, the head honcho in charge of plans for mining a valuable mineral from under the indigenous' home on Pandora. But Grace does not like this guy because deep down she knows that's what will eventually happen. I rated this movie a 10 because it is partly based on what powerful, wealthy companies will do, and have done in the past, to get what they want to make them more wealthier. Greed at it's best/worst! It is very believable. The other part of the story deals with a marine, Jake Sully, and his savior/teacher Neytiri, the daughter of the tribes chief. I also based my score on storyline, acting skills, directing, visuals, and the ability to draw emotions in me. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It made me believe that this sort of thing can happen in real life.
