This film tells you to not mess with Mothers Natures warriors

“Avatar” is a very good movie that sadly falls short of greatness through the 2 1/2 hours which I sat down to watch with my family, My eyes were quite simply glued to the screen all the way through and by the time it ended it left us wanting more, and both my kids wouldn't stop talking about it all night. Cameron does what he has always done best and his shortcomings are in his weak area, script and plot development. Everything about “Avatar” is perfect except for the script which is devastatingly mediocre. As for the cast. I really don't think Cameron has had a better one in all his career. Stephen Lang and Sigoreney Weaver both deliver good performances. Along with Neyitri (Zoe Saldana), she really captures the audience with how 'real' she was on screen. Her emotion, her movement and even her voice can tell you how her character is feeling. You’ll really fall in love with her character besides her beauty. These characters are embedded in the universe organically. We could see the awkwardness is just about every one of the Star Wars prequels and some moments in just about every Hollywood blockbuster since then like “Iron Man” at times. To act with extensive technology is hard. 'Avatar' doesn't have the problem in the least bit.

What capture me the most was when Jake (Sam Worthington) first enters his avatar, for the first time in the history of film, I experienced what I'll call breaking the wall of realism. I'm not talking about the graphic effects purely as well, sure it is a huge part of the experience, but what I'm getting at is that we (the viewers) are subjected to the experiences he has in this new body. As a paraplegic, he has this new found experience, this new world sucking him in, and it's a uplifting and applies so well in the film standard.

The way Cameron compares the viewer to the realizations of Jake Sully are unparalleled. He puts you into his skin more or less, letting the world of Pandora swallow you up, chase you, curse you, and then what you see, is that this place is worth fighting for. And that is what happens, you want to fight for Pandora.

Luckily, your fight only requires watching the story unfold, but it is so involving, that I felt wonder. Yes, pure wonder. The scenes of wonder are limitless, and most of the great wonders hardly contain dialog and oddly enough, the dialog is the weakest part of the film, though it really doesn't matter. We experience the world of Pandora. Plus the flying scenes are the most spectacular display of cinema submersion I've ever seen...This movie is visually and psychologically beautiful in ways most movies could only dream. It isn't perfect, what is? And yes, there will be a lot of opinion about its stature as a huge production.

After saying this, I have to give credit where credit is due. James Cameron's vision for film making is unmatched by anyone. The visuals are outstanding; entertaining and saved me from regretting laying down the extra two dollars to see this film in 3-D. It is obvious that Cameron has unparallel dedication and drive to make a film that people will want to see. This same dedication and drive made him want to handle writing this one himself. Few posses the power to demand the type of budget that Cameron can and it's obvious this film could not have been made without a substantial budget. If you would have combined this new ground breaking and visually stunning technology, with an equally moving and unique script then that's the movie I want to see. It deserves it's spot in the top 10 this year, and is quite simply a masterpiece of cinematography in all aspects.
