Clearly more than just a fantastic film

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2010)

I saw this movie today after having wanted to watch it since it came out. The movie is one step beyond in animation technology than anything else I had seen before, it is impossible to tell the difference between the real footage and the special effects. This innovative technology allows for the movie to become real, specially if watched in 3D, and brings the spectator closer to the movie, so much so that it almost feels you are actually inside the film.
Apart from its astonishing visual effects this movie delivers a very well developed story from beginning to end, and although many people will say this is the typical invade the indians movie, there is clearly a lot more behind it. For starters there is a clear criticism toward the draining of natural resources of less developed nations, only for the benefit of those who have power, without the consideration for the people and the homes they destroy in the process. There are also a lot of environmental ideas behind this movie, and can be clearly observed on the relationship between the Na'vi people and their surrounding nature, also on the way they relate to other animals.
Overall this movie delivers more than fantastic visual effects and story, but also takes the next step and delivers some moral values.
