I have millions of positive adjectives to describe this new film from James Cameron. I'm still in awe right now after leaving the 3D-Cinema last night. Avatar is worth the wait! The hype is true! Everything is magical. JC is GOD. Avatar is simply my Best Picture of 2009! It will rake all the technical awards in the Oscars next year. Trust me. It may be weak when it comes to storytelling but the magic is more compelling.
FILM PREMISE: In A.D. 2154, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), is a former U.S. Marine who was wounded and paralyzed from the waist down in combat on Earth. Jake is selected to participate in the Avatar program, which will enable him to walk. Jake travels to Pandora, a lush and sentient-inhabited jungle-covered satellite of Polyphemus, one of three gas giants that orbit Alpha Centauri A, 4.3 light years from Earth. Pandora is also home to the Na’vi, a sentient humanoid race, who are considered primitive, yet are more physically capable than humans. As humans encroach deeper into Pandora's forests in search of valuable minerals, the Na’vi unleash their formidable warrior abilities to defend their threatened existence. On Pandora, through his Avatar body, Jake will be able to walk again. Sent deep into Pandora's jungles as a scout for the soldiers that will follow, Jake encounters many of Pandora's beauties and dangers. There he meets a young Na’vi female, Neytiri Over time, Jake integrates himself into the Na'vi clan, and begins to fall in love with Neytiri. As a result, Jake finds himself caught between the military-industrial forces of Earth and the Na’vi, forcing him to choose sides in an epic battle that will decide the fate of Pandora.
The story is quiet predictable but it's certainly forgivable. The love story is cheesy but it makes me quiet teary. There is also a slight similarity to the story of Disney's Pocahontas and Fern Gully: The Last Rainforest but James Cameron's script deserves a nod for being outlandish. From the first frame and to the last clip, everything in Pandora is “never been heard, never been seen, never been tasted, never been touched and never been spoken. It is a fresh experience all in all. It's not just about the epic story honestly. Avatar just promises something visually enchanting. The film is truly breathtaking! This is a popcorn flick but the quality is slick. Avatar is one reason why people should watch a movie in a theater again. The 3D experience is impressive and you should watch it there. The best thing is that the film is never boring. The enthusiastic 162 minutes of it won't let you fall into a deep slumber. I can guarantee.
I can enumerate now the possible Oscar awards for Avatar.
1 Best Director for James Cameron:he should win for his phenomenal job.
2 Best Cinematography – Pandora's world is exhilarating. The scenes at night where the living plants glow are mesmerizing, The floating forest is heart-melting. Every frame is delectable to the eyes.
3 Best in Visual Effects – I'm sorry 2012 and Transformers, your effects are way too cheesy. Avatar is a sure shot for this award! The Na’Vi people are wonderfully created by Cameron's team .I bet Robert Zemeckis is really jealous right now. Ha ha ha. Watch out for the flight scenes with those never-been-seen winged creatures. Don't blink or pee during the Battle of Pandora. Amazing! Wow!!!
4 Best in Production Design – Pandora's world is already a winner.
5 Best in Sound Editing/ Mixing – watch it in Dolby Surround cinema / 3D Cinema and you'll hear the Oscar statuette clapping so loudly for Avatar's sound.
6 Best in Musical Score – just like what James Horner did in Titanic. The music is captivating and moving. I will definitely buy the soundtrack.
7 Best Original Song Written for a Movie – Leona Lewis' interpretation of I See You is enthralling. The song describes the love story of the film. It is a beautifully written song. Perfect for the love story of Jake and Neytiri.
8 Best in Editing –the film is kinda lengthy but the superb editing keeps the film interesting.
The script does not require the actors to act boldly in order to get acting awards. Sam Worthington is really charming as Jake Sully,and his voice as the Na'Vi warrior adds vigor in this film. He does what he does for his role. His acting is terrific and he has a very cute eyes too and also a kissable lips. Ha ha ha! Zoë Saldaña's voice as Neytiri provides power to her character. Sigourney Weaver's performance as Grace or her Na'vi avatar is truly remarkable. Michelle Rodriguez has an unforgettable small role and she was born to play it.
I never thought that I would cry in this film. I only expected to be amazed with its visual effects but the heart of this movie is really big and it's already enough for me to shed tears. I see the heart of this film. I see Cameron's sweat and blood in his Avatar. This is the Best Picture of 2009. James Cameron is really the King of The World. And he is back in the game!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
( WATCH IT IN 3D)
