Set in the future on a distant planet, Avatar spins a simple little parable about greedy colonizers (that would be mankind) messing up the lush tribal world of Pandora. A paraplegic Marine named Jake (Sam Worthington) acts through a 9-foot-tall avatar that allows him to roam the planet and pass as one of the Na'vi, the blue-skinned, large-eyed native people who would very much like to live their peaceful lives without the interference of the visitors. Although he's supposed to be gathering intel for the badass general (Stephen Lang) who'd like to lay waste to the planet and its inhabitants, Jake naturally begins to take a liking to the Na'vi, especially the feisty Neytiri (Zoë Saldana, whose entire performance, recorded by Cameron's complicated motion-capture system, exists as a digitally rendered Na'vi). The movie uses state-of-the-art 3D technology to plunge the viewer deep into Cameron's crazy toy box of planetary ecosystems and high-tech machinery. Maybe it's the fact that Cameron seems torn between his two loves--awesome destructive gizmos and flower-power message mongering--that makes Avatar's pursuit of its point ultimately uncertain. That, and the fact that Cameron's dialogue continues to clunk badly. If you're won over by the movie's trippy new world, the characters will be forgivable as broad, useful archetypes rather than standard-issue stereotypes, and you might be able to overlook the unsurprising central plot. (The overextended "take that, Michael Bay" final battle sequences could tax even Cameron enthusiasts, however.) It doesn't measure up to the hype (what could?) yet Avatar frequently hits a giddy delirium all its own. The film itself is our Pandora, a sensation-saturated universe only the movies could create. --Robert Horton

    • Incredible, with not-subtle Native American-like characters
After reading the negative reviews of this movie, I felt compelled to re-list my own review. Obviously people aren't getting the message. This movie is reminiscent - obviously - of what we Cherokee endured. I actually wept many times while watching it, knowing the parallels hidden within, perhaps overlooked by those not "Native American". The action, CG, technical effects and acting - all have depth and subtle, underlying meaning - especially in the scientific and military crews. If you're a CG appreciator, go for it - purchase this movie. There's more to it though, but the effects are astonishing. So now, risking cyber-throttling for my diatribe to come, here goes. Just take into consideration that people have different reasons for enjoying movies, and their consequent value. Not only is this an important movie, it may awaken all who see it - including some Human Beings - so many whom have slept in apparent complacency - for so long, side by side with those who attempted to slaughter us all not too long ago - and for the same reasons depicted in this remarkable movie. Resources. Land. Greed. Should this happen? Should we awaken? It is inevitable. Just as the travelers experienced a long sleep prior to reaching their destination, this analogy was not lost on me. I've noticed a few comment mentions indicating "Native American" likenesses, but decided to expand the obvious nature I perceived - as well as many friends. We saw it clearly from the beginning. So, in order to assist understanding from this viewpoint, here goes. Our oldest Cherokee authenticated "city" has been dated at over 5,000 years. This was a major trading center, there were many more. We have learned to be patient, and learned it well, most recently by the terrible things done to us - truly genocide. In order for Euros to own land, resources and people - we learned the reality of who is empowered here - then and now. Impossible not to recognize in this film, this correlation. At the least the earth would be protected once again if Cherokee and all our Native Nations had the opportunity for legitimate governmental input - this movie merely condenses the action, bringing to fore the tranquil previous lives on Pandora - and like us, thanking wildlife for giving their lives in order to sustain ours. Could something "real" like this happen here? Yep. It could. However, knowing what we do for sustenance in this would require research and time....something people don't have these days, in this economy, with required two income households, ninety+ hour work weeks, etc. I suppose one must truly want to learn how to feed their families if there weren't grocery stores, but there is nothing available in these stores able to surpass the nectar of ripe blackberries picked from a wild bush or the satisfaction of eating a personally tended tomato while standing in your own garden, its juices running down your arm. The Indiginous beings inhabiting Pandora were working with their unique planet, relishing its fruits - so well depicted by Jake's Avatar - and something we Cherokee still enjoy right now, right here, today. That's how Native cultures survived here for centuries. Yes, it would be difficult to the extreme for most to live that way; the required change in lifestyles. Not for us, however. At the worst? People will not exist here in the US from whence we "Native Americans" came - and continue to come, albeit with quite different lifestyles for most, yet I believe Human Beings would flourish once again if we were forced to return to the old ways. Well, not so very old. In this movie? The indiginous humanoids were knowledgable, working with and enjoying the bounty of their planet. They are Human Beings in this film. Only "Native American" readers will understand what I mean. We will continue to survive, for we know how. I realize this may be perceived as nonsense by many readers. Know this and make no mistake: we teach Our Own our way, and the crucial importance of balance within the earth wherever we live, (it would surprise you all) however we may appear - the blond guy with blue eyes and an Irish name in the next cubicle may be Indian. Yes, I said Indian. This politically correct nonsense makes little sense to my clan. Indian = indiginous, shortened to Indian all over the world. We frequently recognize Our Own, just as depicted by the female shaman in this movie. The Earth is the main thing to protect as was Pandora...protect it, and it shall feed and protect us who continue living; understand the sad truth that we, here, not only in the US but globally, are on the edge of the abyss. This is the most profound depiction in movie form I have seen reflecting this fact to date, CG, special effects, well fleshed-out characters and all. I have watched many movies, and noticed their changes along with the times. These are strange days. Recently, movies began to reflect current horrors - real horrors, not only to us Indians, but to us all - and in incredibly intelligent formats. I wonder who will live? I wonder who will flourish? Watch the movie. Our journey, again, is much the same, regardless of the format amd plot. Awaken. This movie, when watched in this manner may open your eyes...allowing folks to become much more cognizant here in the US especially - and those who haven't, to wake up. This I hope. This we hope. This we shall work toward, for it is the only way. We lived, we endured, in spite of the odds. We learned. Just as the Avatars did. All Cherokee didn't see the humor in relocation and the consequent Trail of Tears. And registration? Further removal of our freedom by shedding our blood via lies in hope of killing us off completely? Schools which included nothing of our own history? Incomprehensible. Unacceptable. We did not all go. We, of my clan did not go. Research what I write. You may learn something amazing. Try the keyword Yahoo Falls, see the last recognized atrocity - certainly, there have been many, many others - this, a minor one in Euro eyes, and then weep yourselves. Heart-breaking, it is forever remembered by us, passed down to our children - who made up the majority of lives taken at Yahoo Falls on their journey to safety, so they thought. Killing children. This is not our way. However, it is the way accomplished in so many fashions by Big Corporation - the true government - here and globally - as well as on Pandora. This is an important addition to anyone and everyone's film library, should be protected, and utilized as an unique learning tool. It is worthy. Let us not revisit the past, but learn from it by whatever means grace us all - i.e., this movie, any genius medium which brings history and possibility to light, research on the 'net - however you can learn about the reality of these strange days. History repeats itself. Perhaps this was an intentional attempt by Cameron to enlighten folks...who knows what motivation pushes some? We who were here before shall continue our attempts to live peacefully on and of these lands. Should peace be an impossibility? We shall do exactly what we did in WW II, and that was the right thing at that time. But, let's not get into these war and nuclear issues - we hope there will never be another bomb. Anywhere. If only a single pair of eyes open via the effects on folks from this incredible movie, that's a wonderful thing. Like the indigenous inhabitants of Pandora, we hope for the best - and handle the worst. Here and now, we hope those in government positions cease to speak out of the side of their mouths. Money and greed? They have no home. We Indians shall live on, for Human Beings are graced with a Home, an eternal one - we hope - Earth. Pandora's Human Beings lived that way. And they fought well, with Honor. Enough about our reality. See this film, and try to learn from it in ways more than how impressive its CG effects are or the entertainment value, or what tiny mistakes there may be - if any. I don't see any - but some viewers do. Regardless, this is worth the investment - purchase the DVD or Blu-ray. See it on Video on Demand. You will not regret it. As far as waiting for the additional releases? Heck, I'll purchase them all. Thanks for reading my lengthy comment. I welcome any replies. Anyone who doesn't understand the parallel between the "blue people" and us Indians? I will happily describe the historical likenesses in great detail. Be well - everyone. ... show more

    • Visually Spectacular and Spiritually Rewarding. A Love Story
Avatar, above all else, is a love story. I'm convinced that this is the reason why many people come back to see it again and again. It is about love in the face of heroic difficulties, but its the connection between the two main characters which lifts the movie above the level of all the other great action / scifi movies we've seen. For those of you who are reading this under the DVD release in November, 2010, I suggest that this release does have much to offer over the theatrical release, especially if you get it in Blu-Ray. The 18 extra minutes add a lot of balance to the story of the conflict between the humans and the Na'vi, before the attack on home tree. It also adds a lot of depth to Jake Sully's motivations to take the side of the Na'vi against Col. Quaritch and Co. To the theologically inclined, there is even some good material in the incomplete scenes, which did not even get into the extended versions. Some of the material on the second and third disks is a bit silly, but we've come to expect some chaff on these sets. For those of you who are reading this under the DVD release of 22 April, I agree with others who are critical of this 'bare bones' release, not in 3-D and with none of the extras we may have been lead to expect. The only extras are alternate sound tracks in Spanish and French, plus Subtitles for the hearing impaired. For a minimal release, I would give the DVD package 3 stars. The only other advantage is that by NOT being in 3-D, certain lighting aspects are better than 3-D in the theatre. Another, somewhat subliminal view of the movie is that it represents all the major stages of life, especially the rebirth of baptism, growth into belonging in the community, marital union, and death. Ultimately, it gives one the sense of a sinner's return to a state of grace in the garden. In order to answer some critics, I am certain, as Cameron says himself, that the story is a gemish of every SciFi novel and film he has read or seen. There is even a hint of 'Return of the Jedi' in that both Pandora and Endor are habitable moons of gas giant planets, similar to the moons of Jupiter.This is not a bad thing. People have been retelling the same story over and over for centuries. The post-Biblical story of Simon Magus was resurrected and retold as the Faust story ever since the fourteenth century.The question is, does Cameron tell it better? I suspect he comes out in the lead by a nose The skeleton of the story is similar to 'white man scouts indians, white man goes over to Indians, white man helps Indians fight cavalry, Indians win'. My dim memory of 'Little Big Man', with Dustin Hoffman, suggests this was the best exemplar of this skeleton. The big advance over that skeleton is based on the Avatar process, and on the one hand, the advantages it gives to Jake Scully to make contact, and on the other hand, the disadvantages, when the colonel back at home base can cut him off from his Avatar body in the blink of an eye. The second leg of this movie is the absolutely perfect technical realization of Pandora and its inhabitants. I don't think that even the floating mountains are original (I have a suspicion these showed up in a Larry Niven story) I am certain the huge trees and the sentient connections between the flora and fauna are not original. But the details of how all these were realized is impecable. I am not well versed in movie technology, but I have seen very good movies, such as Ridley Scott's Gladiator, where the editing, especially in heavy action scenes, is very, very choppy. But Russell Crowe keeps your attention, so you don't care. A slip in filming or editing in 'Avatar' would have been disastrous. But there are no slips. Not one. Cameron and Co get all the little stuff exactly right, even so far as to invent the Na'vi language which sounds both familiar and foreign at the same time. The only 'background' aspect of the film which doesn't POP is James Horner's score. It is 'good enough', but not so good I will run out and buy a CD. The third leg of this movie is the aura of spirituality evoked by the unique combination of story, backstory, and effectiveness of the actors portraying the Na'vi to show how they feel. As Sigourny Weaver said recently, Cameron was able to develop at least three very good female characters in this movie. Zoe Saldana was especially effective in being alternately tough and vulnerable behind her Na'vi persona. We are used to this by now, ever since Gollum turned out to be the most interesting character in 'Lord of the Rings'. As heroic and inspiring as LOTR was, Avatar is even better, and it knows when to stop. I literally cried through the second half of the film, so taken was I by the evocative spirit of the Na'vi and their environment. This is tree-hugging writ large, very large. I was taken aback when I ran into a passage in 1 Timothy 4:2-4 which warned against itching ears, and wandering away to myths. I can wish that the level of spiritual octane in our religious services and teachings could come close to the artistry being applied here to 'mere myths'. A week after writing this review, it occurred to me that there are mythic undercurrents to this movie, especially in the realization of the Na'vi which dig deep into some of our most basic notions of the divine. In some early Jewish writings, Adam and Eve are described as being clothed in effervescent light (just like the Na'vi) and who must be clothed with artificial clothes when they fall from grace. The Na'vi are still connected to their God, and fight to preserve that connection. The links to classic spirituality and folklore just keep coming. I just discovered, in the title to Howard Schwartz' book 'The Tree of Souls' that this tree was, in Jewish folklore, the heavenly analogue to the Tree of Life in the garden of Eden. The author, Schwartz told me he has no idea if Cameron got the idea from Schwartz' book, published in 2004. As an aside, I have to add that allowing for the layers of special effects, Zoe Saldana is simply outstanding in this flick. Give us more! LOTR surprised me, because I thought it couldn't be done, but it was. Avatar did not surprise me, but that doesn't mean it failed, because it simply lived up to expectations, as the expectations were very, very high. ... show more
