I love the different movie experience that Avatar provided which was sensational, thrilling and most importantly, gave me a cheerful lift after so long feeling in the down. I will gloss over the specific details as Avatar is really worth watching.
Sam Worthington stars as Jack Sully, a wheelchair-bound paralyzed ex-Marine, who is provided with an opportunity to replace his dead twin scientist brother on an Avatar programme on an earth-like planet that is more hostile and still in its primitive stage. The Avatar programme fuses science to allow the human mind to be transposed to another body (an Avatar) and to live on that planet as though the Avatar belongs to that world. The Avatar itself is based on the genetics of the indigenous people of that planet.
With the Avatar programme, Jack is able to walk again and he is rejuvenated enough to enjoy his life in a different body. The Avatar programme however is more than a mere science project and with military backing, the two bodies, led by administrator Parker Selfridge (Giovani Ribisi), were working together to obtain an insanely valuable resource that is worth 20millions a kilogram. That resource can be found on a particular part of that planet where a tribe currently resides.
With Jack's background as an ex-Marine, Colonel Miles Quaritch (the impressive Stephen Lang) being the military guy he is, assigned Jack to be his eyes for information on the tribe so that he need not resort to military hostility to obtain that resource.
Capitalizing on the opportunity presented to him to be on the Avatar programme, Jack live and grew with the tribe to eventually gain acceptance but not before being swayed with the potential of being in love with his mentor. Jack is eventually caught in conflict between choosing sides, who are soon on the verge of war.
Avatar is a captivating cinematic experience that is a welcome change for the audience seeking for a fresh twist of warfare story. In 3-D, which was the option I opted for, and being my first time watching a 3-D movie, the feeling is perhaps enhanced even more. I rate Avatar a worthy 4.5 out of 5.
