Avatar
This film received massive attention from the press and movie critics all over the world. Avatar is truly a film which splits the people, there are those who love it and those who think it's a waste of money and time. And I refused to be put into a category until I had seen it; and not being a big lover of 3D movies I decided to just wait until it came out on DVD. Having watched it, I know which section you can put me in. I bloody loved it.
Avatar follows the life of injured ex marine, Jake, and is based in the future where science and technology rules. Having ruined planet Earth, the humans look to the world of 'Pandora' to supply their habits and high demanding lives. Jake believes he has been sent to this world to help the human race in survival - little does he know he will discover a dream world that he prefers to real life and becoming more involved than he ever thought possible. 'Avatars' are part human, part the native species of Pandora and are matched to a human being who can then become the Avatar and control it. Ultimately Avatar is a story of love and morals. But it is so much more too, it makes your hairs stand on end and the graphics will draw you in. You become part of their world. But this dreamworld never promised to be easy, and sacrifices will have to be made. Through finding this world Jake finds himself and will grow far more than he planned.
This film is long, but the time sped by when I was watching it and I would recommend it to anyone who loves creative films. However the plot and characters are not the only reason I love this film. Although at first glance, it looks like it is purely fictional there is a splash of truth in this breathtaking film. Ruining our planet and taking away the lives of natives in the Amazon rain forest with our advancing technology is something that is current, something that is now. This film makes a brave, bold point - that we do need to change how we live, and not destroy Earth because once it's gone you can't get back.
Overnight Avatar has become one of my favourite ever films and is something that will stay with you for a long time after the final scene is over.
