Avatar (2009)

Plot Summary :

When his brother is killed in a robbery, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand - and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora. - imdb.com

Review :

What more to say for the highest grossing movie of all time to date, it is a highly entertaining motion picture that combines action, adventure, drama, fantasy, romance and science fiction, all blended into a visually satisfying movie. Director James Cameron has topped his previous highest grossing movie Titanic with Avatar, squeezing Titanic to the second spot after staying at the top for 12 years. Although the storyline is simple, straight forward and may not be original, and the dialogs are forgettable, I still gave it a 10 star as it is a breathtaking, extraordinary and innovative piece of visual entertainment with superb art direction, cinematography and visual effect.

All I can say is this is one of the best movie experience I have gone through as I didn't feel bored or lost focus or even realized that I have actually been sitting in the cinema for 2 hours 40 minutes because I enjoy every moment of it and it completely blew me away with the academy award winning art direction, cinematography and visual effect. The non-existing fictional world that looks real enough, with a mix of romance between the main character and the native, and a great sense of adventure experienced in the natives' world, with the main character and a few others standing between their race and the natives, Avatar creates an unforgettable emotional ride with spectacular actions and battle scenes that will captivates both your heart and visual. In short, Avatar is a very enjoyable movie with mind-blowing adventure and one of the most impressive and intricate work of art. It is definitely a must watch on big screen, and I am excited get the DVD as well as the Blu-ray Disc to enjoy this movie again from time to time.

Rating : 10/10  * Rating given based on movie genre because different type of movies are incomparable.
