AVATAR by Yasmina B.


Avatar is the first film in 12 years from James Cameron, director of the biggest box-office success ever, Titanic. He has produced the most brilliantly constructed stories of modern cinema. In fact, in Avatar, a 3-D film, James Cameron used the new technology which produces very realistic action scenes . This movie, a live action film with a new generation of special effects, delivers a fully immersible cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to create the film, disappears into the emotion of the characters and sweeps of the story.

Avatar is set in the year 2154.We enter the alien world through the eyes of Jake Sully, a former Marine confined to a wheelchair. But despite his broken body, Jake is still a warrior at heart. He is recruited to travel light years to the human outpost on Pandora, where corporations are mining a rare mineral that is the key to solving Earth's energy crisis. Because the atmosphere of Pandora is toxic, they have created the Avatar Program, in which human "drivers" have their consciousness linked to an avatar, a remotely-controlled biological body that can survive in the lethal air. These avatars are genetically engineered hybrids of human DNA mixed with DNA from the natives of Pandora... the Na'vi.

Reborn in his avatar form, Jake can walk again.

He is given a mission to infiltrate the Na'vi who have become a major obstacle to mining the precious ore. But a beautiful Na'vi female, Neytiri, saves Jake's life, and this changes everything. Jake is taken in by her clan, and learns to become one of them, which involves many tests and adventures. As Jake's relationship with his reluctant teacher Neytiri deepens, he learns to respect the Na'vi way and finally finds a place among them. Soon he faces the ultimate test as he leads them in an epic battle that decides nothing less than the fate of an entire world.

First of all, I think that it is a very dramatic and moving film because the end is tragic. Besides the visual experience is beautiful. Moreover James Cameron still has his magic touch. In my opinion
I can't decide whether Titanic or Avatar is the best. They both are touching and interesting !


I recommend this film. You will not regret it !
