In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
... View MoreAs somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
... View MoreGreat movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
... View MoreThrough painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
... View MoreI don't think that I'll like Avatar that much if I see it again and it's not in 3-D. The visual experience was fun, but I really had no strong emotional connection to the characters or the story (or the trees, for that matter). The special effects are great, but beyond that it is just a cookie-cutter plot.
... View MoreOver-simplistic plot, over-cliched soundtrack, over-biased character traits, over-copied storyline. Enjoyable first 45 minutes, ruined by the last 45. A blockbuster that tried to tackle the subject of respect and patrimony, without respecting the patrimony of cinematography. What an irony.
... View MoreWow! First time seeing this, almost 10 years after it was released, and I gotta say what a fantastic film it was. The only downside to this movie was that it is reminiscent of white people to do what they did and destroy foreign culture. I cannot wait for the next one.
... View MoreDeveloped as a action/fantasy/sci-fi film it has all the makings of a wonderful story. The cinematography is truly magnificent as are the scenery and tremendous action sequences. A film that has heart, defines what humanity is on a completely different level. Jake Sully (Worthington) is a paralyzed Marine in a wheel chair that takes his murdered brother's place to go to the moon Pandora. He has no science background, just the will to complete a mission, he's a soldier. Once there he meets the rough, ego centric Colonel Miles Quaritch) Lang who is hell bent on destroying the Navi civilization. It comes to light money is the root of destroying this peaceful moon. However Jake has a change of heart when he meets Neytiri (Saldana) and learns the ways of the tribe. Sigourney Weaver (Grace) has a pivotal role as lead scientist and really gets inside the reasoning of Jake's turning point. The moons components and CGI effects are amazing to view through the entire film. The character development is slow at first but truly picks up. I really enjoyed the complete package, BUT came away with a similarity of Dances With Wolves. I liked the film but believe it does NOT warrant sequels 2,3,4,5. 8/10
