The Greatest Film of all time.

Avatar

Majestic, Mysterious & Magical.

Avatar is one hell of a good movie. My obsession all started in May when I came down with the chicken pox. I was in bed for two weeks..and that can get kinda borrrrring. My dad decided that I needed a long, interesting movie to watch to entertain me- and he told me Avatar was perfect. Now, I wasn't too keen on this idea. Avatar looked like a geeky film, and a little bit boring. But having nothing else to do, my attention was completely devoted to watching Avatar. And after watching it, I watched it again. And again...and again until I knew almost everybody's lines in the first scene. I was mesmerised.

Avatar is all based around a group of scientists trying to find this incredible mineral on the planet Pandora. To do so, the human's need to connect with the people of the planet- the Na'Vi; so they create Avatars from human DNA and DNA of the natives.

That's where this guy comes into it. Sam Worthington plays Jake Sully- the paralysed ex marine, twin brother of the real scientist who's life was cut short days before setting off for Pandora. It is Jake's duty to fulfil what his brother had set out to achieve. By being an Avatar, Jake can now walk and run again- which he finds incredible. It really is another life for him.

Avatar takes you on a journey through the struggles of Jake's experience on Pandora. We watch him grow and develop as an Avatar..and as a human. 

"Everything is backwards now. Like out there is the true world, and in here is the dream." 

This feisty female imbeds in his mind. Jake is so smitten that his scientists and his own life are put at risk. With scenes of romance and violence- it really is a film for everybody.

The romance side of Avatar really gripped me. The graphics and the whole storyline had me 'wowing' and leaving utterly breath taken. No other movie has left an impact on me quite like this one. Some people may think that it's 2 hours of giant blue smurfs- but they didn't have chicken pox while watching. I really, truly focused on every single second of this enchanting film and James Cameron is one clever guy. He really has thought of ever single tiny detail- even Norm, the goofy scientist, forgets his backpack. Just, what!? That's genius! Soft, warming colours leave your eyes sparkling with magic, while  the battle scenes leave you hanging from the edge of your seat.

 It took 14 years of planning, editing and creations to achieve Avatar- my whole lifetime. 

Sometimes, when people ask me in person what I think of Avatar- I cannot answer them. Because I love it so much that I cannot think of just one answer. Avatar has had a huge impact on me and hopefully it comes across in this blog. 

I just love it. From the intensity of the battles, to the simple I See You. I cried at the end because it was so emotional- I'd seen everything happen and it truly feels like you go through everything with Jake.

Even though I have Avatar on DVD, I even got the extended edition, collectors edition for Christmas which I SCREAMED at when I saw it! So, I'm going to kick back, relax and pop to see Jake in Pandora. See you in 6 years...
