Avatar: Enter The World!
Very rarely does a movie comes which turns you into a kid and makes you fantasize yourself into a bird falling from the cliff and emerging flying into the woods. Avatar is one of them!
I was waiting for this since 3 years when I heard of Terminator: Salvation with Sam Worthington being announced as one of the leads along with Christian Bale. Sam also got Avatar offered to him by James Cameron at the same time. Avatar was announced then as being the best 3D FX ever made with technology never seen before and effects never imagined ever. They say it was planned before Titanic itself and was postponed as James Cameron said Technology needs to catch up with his imagination to get the optimum effects required for filming such vivid shots.
Boy! and then finally I saw Avatar alone on an Aisle seat in 2D because I wanted to see the content rather than effects that dazzle me and make me forget the thrill of the story.
Synopsis: (Spoiler Alert!)
The story is set on the man's mission in 2154 to capture Pandora, our only hope to sustain the dying human race on the suffering and war-torn Earth. Pandora is an alien moon of the planet Polyphemus which is a part of our nearest celestial neighbors the Alpha Centurai. The life on Pandora is very simple Hunt-Eat-Sleep on the Home-Tree. Most of the native inhabitants the Na'vi live in tribes or clans and they hunt in packs on Na'vi horses and Flying Beasts called Ikrans. Jake Sully enters the Avatar program as a replacement for his brother as his brother dies in mission on Pandora. Although his brother was a scientist, Jake is selected as he is an Ex-Marine and a worthy candidate of fitting into his Brother's genome controlled Avatar body.
The Avatar program is actually human brain controlling the genetically designed bodies based on Na'vi DNA and artificial tissues. Avatar bodies can be controlled by human brains which genetically match the Avatar body but the human has to be asleep to control them. They are called Dream-Walkers by the Na'vi. Jake's mission is to befriend the Na'vi and persuade them to slowly evacuate Pandora to make room for the humans from earth. They want the large Unobtanium reserves which is found in abundance beneath the large Home-Tree the village and home of the Omitacaya Clan.
Jake enters into Pandora's forest and gets lost in the woods due to an attack by one of their primitive beasts and finds himself alone in the Pandora forest in the darkness of the night. Jake is rescued by a native Neytiri and slowly Jake finds this life as his own and finds that he can actually make use of his active mind better that what he can use with his semi-paralyzed body back on the ground at his base station.
Jake falls in love with Neytiri and they mate in front of the Tree of Voices, one of the sacred trees of Pandora. As expected the humans get involved between the love as in any other Love Story and try to separate them. Jake being a true lover defends his love and turns enemy towards the fellow humans. His friends Dr. Grace Augustine and Norm Spellman help him to in his mission to save the Na'vi from getting destroyed by the wicked plans of humans.
As we would expect all love stories to end there is some blood shed and Neytiri's father dies in combat and there is a place for the new clan leader. Jake turns to his Na'vi call and turns himself completely into Na'vi by transplanting his soul into the his Avatar body. After his transformation he becomes the clan leader and vows to protect the Omitacaya clan from any further attacks by humans or any other aliens.
Verdict:
Avatar is an interesting mix of characters and you would not imagine such an end to a human giving up his complete self to protect someone from the outside world.
Well love has its own ways!
Anyways, Avatar has brilliant effects and Sound mixing and some breathtaking shots of the Hallelujah (Hanging Mountains) and High Magnetic Flux zones at Pandora. The trees of Voices and Souls are magnificent and the Ikrans are marvelous flying beasts which remind of the Archaeopteryxes of the Paleontological age of Earth!
Go Watch Avatar with an empty mind without any pre-conceptions about it and enjoy James Cameron at his creative best!
I see You!
