It cannot be denied that James Cameron is master of Science Fiction. And that he is way ahead of his time. He proved it in 1984 with The Terminator and he has proved it again with Avatar.
The film is one of the most brilliant in years and has elements from classics like Dances with Wolves, Instinct and The Matrix. The cinematography and the animation are such that beautiful is a very poor word to define it.
The concept is very entertaining and at the same time it gives a lot of messages to the human race.
It emphasizes the destructive nature of the human beings and their lack of farsightedness. The evil inherent in their very being which, indeed, is a grim reality. It also shows through symbolism that a few good that are there are partially paralyzed.
Avatar also makes an effort to make us see how disconnected we have become with nature and how the only thing that we are after is our comfort, more comfort and some more comfort. We prefer to drive a car instead of taking a walk and later desperately try to burn out the calories we have saved in the gym. The film points out the very ridiculous thought structure of humans.
The film also shows how most of us just prefer to do what others are doing, without being able to meditate on our own actions and their consequences. The people who cannot even think right have the right to decide what is right and what is not right.
The actors are fitting but they are not special in any way. Their performances are okay. It is ironic that Sam Worthington defended the human race against machines in Terminator: Salvation and here he defends others from human race.
The satellite Pandora is a kind of “amplified” earth with every thing akin but with an ethereal touch. The design is impeccable.
Great work Cameron! You live up to yourself.
