Jake Sully, a former Marine in a wheelchair, he was hired to operate a Avatar of Na 'There, indigenous population of another, for convince them to leave their place of origin. But soon it will join the cause Na 'and you will fight against his people lying.
Avatar was advertised, and then subsequently acclaimed as the film that would bring the masses to the movies, with the ' introduction of IMAX 3D technology large scale, and as the film which would revolutionized definitely this world. First you must remember that the technique stereoscopic cinema arrives in 1922, the heyday of the third dimension was in the mid-fifties until the eighties, and that such products were introduced. not forget then that the quality of a film is not proportional special effects (see, among others, The War of the Worlds Spielberg ). This does not mean that technology and special effects to donate Avatar very enjoyable, and, because not, a good healthy dose of fun . In addition, James Cameron confirmed himself as a filmmaker with great qualities. Can perfectly in its intention to create a world, Pandora, where the viewer is able to enjoy an incredible view, and even surprising, the proceeds of the situations and events in a perfectly coordinated so as not to lose a blow to the beat. Avatar film is simple and requires no long speeches and / or complicated. The Na 'We are the corresponding Native Americans, and the basic message, as happens too often distorting due , is an ecologist. Pandora is the only element in addition to the remarkable skill of the director (the bestiary and the vegetation, I repeat, they are made well ), and no matter in the end if the plot is too simple and flows into the trivial, and if the characters have less depth than animals Pandora's (that is the best character is to flatter the master bad); Avatar is a good movie that you can appreciate even further than the first visions.
Two things to note: the first is the actual importance of 3D in the dynamics of the film (that is, if it is really necessary), the second is the blatant copying of elements from the world of video games to create some elements (two grenades are grenades Half Life 2 paste, some flying machines are faithfully reproduced from the Halo saga , in particular the second chapter, and flying animals that are too reminiscent of the ride mount of World of Warcraft , then, more generally, a style age style evolved out of the cinema).
numeric rating: 8 -
PS: The most direct 'competitor' of Avatar in his major issues, special effects and attendance in cinemas, is Star Wars (1977), which, according to my opinion, is most innovative in the first point, and, according to the numbers, was the most magnetic in the second point.
