FILM REVIEW: Ivan Laso, 9a


AVATAR

The name of my favourite movie is Avatar. It was directed by James Cameron, the acknowledged master of science fiction genre. It was released in 2009 by 20th Century Fox and became the greatest box office hit.

I first saw this film at the movie theatre right after it was released. Every time when I watch it I realize that it is one of the greatest films ever made of this genre. I like this movie very much because it has a combination of fantasy and reality, romance and hard scenes, special effects and sound tracks. The plot is the following. The scene is laid on a fictional planet called Pandora. The main character is Jake Sully, a marine who has suffered a spinal injury and his life is going nowhere until he gets a chance to go to the far-off Pandora. There he takes his dead brother's place, piloting a genetically engineered "avatar." The avatar was built out of alien DNA, so it allows Sully to walk among the Na'Vi, the giant blue natives of Pandora, and look like one of them. Sully is a brave, honest and fair warrior, like the Na'Vi tribespeople. That’s why he finds acceptance in their ranks. 6 He supports their fight against the cruel plans of his fellow humans to take over their planet and to destroy their race.

I was amazed to see his love for his new family. The film makers created a fantastic plot with brilliant characters. The special effects made the movie unforgettable. It is an absolutely phenomenal film which kept me absorbed from beginning to end.

I’ve seen the movie more than 2-3 times. The story is excellent, the casting, the plot and the acting are superb. The movie deeply touched me and became the most favourite movie I have ever seen.
