Reviews of AVATAR by James Cameroon.

With remakable use of motion capture & VFX AVATAR adds another feather to the crown of james cameroon, thus enhancing our quest for more fictions from him. Avatar decisively differs from TITANIC another landmark film by cameroon. The film portrays the heights of conceptual visualisations by cameroon.

The story takes us in the year of 2154 AD the story starts from Pandora (earth like moon) of the planet named Polyphemus, in the alpha centauri (the 2nd nearest galaxy to sun @4.37 light yrs away frm sun).As the store proceeds with the human intentions of exploiting Pandora's reserves of a valuable mineral called unobtanium.....inhabitants of pandora are a paleolithic species of sapient humanoids characterised with feline nature.

Withoput proceeding simultaneously with the story line lets make a detailed analysis of the movie....

VFX & lighting has been extensively used alongwith motion capture to create a visual teat- like- ambiece of pandora.The concept of bio-botanical neural network has been generously justified by cameroon through different scenes.The script of AVATAR was 1st written drafted in 1994 & was bout to release shortly after TITANIC artound 1999.But for depiction of an era of 2154 AD, camerron's wait for technological advancements borne returns.

Physical indulgence of jake (the protagonist) & neytiri (female lead) in front of "Tree of souls"- (centre for Na'vi, the inhabitants) culture & religion;depicts their religion & social awarenesswhich bears close resemblance to religious beliefs of our planet, earth.

Cameroon banked on the concept of "revolution against imperialism" as Jake(initially employed by the humans) transformed his loyalty towards Na'vi symbolising humanity...
Is it a satire on humanity itself??? - as a creature created by human race is more humane in comparison to his human counterparts..

The destruction of Na'vi hometree has been very strategically demonstrated in close proximity to US attack on iraq & afghanistan.

The only oddity that had perturbed my eyes the most are the costumes, though tremendous R&D has been done on the subject but still the costumes worn by the human race in 2154 AD is no different from those we wear now..& the second tihnk that contradicts the storyline is when Jake lits a torch in the jungle...so does that signifies that the atmosphere contains oxygen?..Cameroon cud hav defined tjis aspect in a better way..

moreover the film is really a packaged entertainer widout irrelevant use of hot scenes.bt it has been edited confidently....& the technologies used in it has made this film worth watching..

Inspite of all odds AVATAR is able to make its distinction through BO collections in the 1st phase only..
