This movie really takes cinema to a whole new level. I never experienced cinema quite like this before. In fact, saying it was awesome is an understatement. I am sure there are alot of reasons but here are 10 reasons why I loved this movie.
- Director James Cameron – He has directed some of the best movies of all time. Terminator, Titanic, Rocky, Aliens. And with Avatar, he certainly does not disappoint.
- The characters - The characters are like nothing you have seen before. They are huge blue creatures called the Na'vi that look like aliens but are actually believable. This was inspired by a dream James Cameron's mother had.
- The story - This is the beauty of this movie. The story is very simple to follow and you actually think this could happen considering the naturally greedy and selfish nature of humans.
- The action sequences - The action will keep you at the edge of your seat. It is fantastic.
- The acting - The acting is phenomenal. I actually shed tears when the humans destroyed the Na'vi's home. I ended up supporting the Na'vi and wanted all those humans to die. In fact, the humans are the bad guys in this movie.
- The main characters - The fact that this movie has no big names except maybe for Sigourney Weaver is a testament to what makes a good movie.
- The comedy - There are some comedy moments that really lighten up this movie.
- Visual effects - The visual effects of this movie is unrivalled. That is what I like about James Cameron. He always pushes the boundary. The standard of visual effects in the early 90s with Terminator: Judgement Day was like nothing anyone had seen before. It is the same with Avatar. Plus if you watch it in 3D, you could die. You have lived your life. It is that amazing.
- The soundtrack - I fell in love with the soundtrack. Speechless.
- The cinematography - You will witness some of the best pictures you have ever seen in this movie. For instance, the mountains inspired by the Chinese Huang Shan mountains are breathtaking.
