We start our first review with a fairly new release, "Avatar"
Ups:
Avatar, in my opinion, is a gorgeous moive breakthrough that we have not seen since movies like "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (Claymation) and "Toy Story" (3D Animation)--but it also goes up as a moive with a wonderful storyline that blew our mind with it's detail. I personally adore the natives in the movie, there design is insanely detailed and thier world took my breath away.
Another up for this film is the way they portrayed the main character, his paralysis makes it so he wants to be in his Avatar, but slowly he begins to know the dream world he wanted for his own gain becomes his life. It amazes me how the film makers could make the transistion from human to human-avatar so believeable a heartwarming. I'll even give the love story part a huge thumbs up! Love stories aren't told so wonderfully these days anymore!
Downs:
The only downs I give this film is one: the fact that it's WAY too much like Pochahontas. Did you notice that? This guy comes from a different world and discovers the natives, learns to like them, falls in love with the chief's daughter (who is engaged with another one of her people), and saves them from the people he called fellow comrades before. Eh? Isn't that messed up?! And second, the random red dragon that only one native has ever ridden before and suddenly he can ride one?! I dunno why that drives me insane. Maybe it's just a pet-peeve I have of people who can just walta in and take over naturally. *shrug*
Well, that's my review for "Avatar"!
Please, tell me your stand on this film and any comments on my own views as well.
