WHAT?!?! Another Avatar Review!?!?!

Hi!

I know I already posted a little Avatar review but I had to do one for a school assignment so I thought I would post it on here :) Enjoy!

Avatar is an exciting film with great special effects and a clever plot. It’s science-fiction, directed by James Cameron. Avatar stars Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana. The film is about three hours long but is so fast paced and compelling it doesn’t feel that long.

The plot follows the story of a handicapped soldier named Jake Sully. Jake’s twin brother was working on a project to become like the native people of Pandora, called Navi, and convince them to leave their village so the humans can take some of their natural resources. When Jake’s brother dies he is recruited to take his place. Jake’s mind is put into a Navi body and he goes into the jungle of Pandora. Jake ends up falling in love with a native woman called Neytiri and fights with the Navi to save their village.

The setting is beautiful. Although it is mainly CGI, the planet Pandora is very believable. It features floating mountains, a village in the trees and other fantasy locations unlike anything in real life. The dialog in Avatar is defiantly not the main attraction. Although the dialog is not bad it is defiantly overshadowed by all of the great visual elements.

The characters are each well crafted though some of the Navi have similar personalities so they don’t stand out. It is the same for some of the humans but all the important characters, such as Jake, Neytiri and Dr. Grace, are distinctive and interesting. They each go through conflict and deal with it in different ways. No two of the main characters have the same personality.

Avatar was defiantly a well made film. Although the plot does not appeal to everyone it has aspects for all different types of movie watchers. There is romance, action, adventure and a little comedy. Some elements are not appropriate for younger children and there is some violence. Ultimately though I think it is definitely a five star movie!
