Avatar is a riveting movie, jam-packed with action and blood-pumping scenes. It has a very strong structure and an intense feeling to it throughout the film. Avatar, written and directed by James Cameron in 2009, turned big right when it hit theatres. Starring Sam Worthington as Jake Sully, Zoe Saldana as Neytiri, Sigourney Weaver as Dr. Grace Augustine, Michelle Rodriguez as Trudy Chacon, and Stephen Lang as Colonel Miles Quaritch, it was bound to be a hit.
The movie is about us, but us about 1 100 years in the future, and in his future we have access to a planet called Pandora, home to the Na’vi. The Na’vi happen to live on a large deposit of minerals we want to collect for money and use, and Avatar is about the struggle between both parties to save their home or save themselves. In this movie Jake Sully is a handicap man whose brother lost his life, and what his brother left behind for him involved a mission on Pandora, a chance to walk again, and him falling in love.
During the duration of the movie he meets Neytiri, one of the Na’vi, and she teaches him the way of the Na’vi. Dr. Grace Augustine and Trudy Chacon both are on this mission as well, but they begin disagreeing with the orders they are given and later team up with Jake Sully. The movie goes through the intense tale of what happens in their battle to save their land. The entire spirit and idea behind this movie was intriguing to say at the least. It interested me to such an extent, that I still think about it, though watched it almost four years ago.
It showed a story similar to that of the Native American and told a tale of how we destroyed their lives, and they estroyed ours. Peace cannot come if we make the same mistakes time and time again. Nothing will change, sure things will advance and prosper, but nothing really changes. The movie shows this in several ways and explains that history will repeat itself because we aren’t doing anything to change the patterns we’ve put into motion. Avatar really causes you to think and question yourself about this, and if we will every really try and change.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who is willing to sit through the uration of it and really soak up the meaning. This movie could be liked by any audience member who is able to see the true meaning and effect this movie brings with it. My reasoning for this is because I believe that this remarkable feeling and theme the movie gives off should be shared with anyone who can grasp the idea. I loved this movie for its amazing value and the way it shows through the movie, and because it was filled to the brim with good acting and effects that blew your mind.
