After hours of stressful work, Me, Pj, Mitch and Tony decided to watch this film after our shift to check out the film. We've heard a lot of good response from people who already watched the film so out of curiosity, I went ahead and join my office mates in watching this. While waiting for the movie to start we had our lunch at Burger King and had a little chat. Our wait has finally ended after the clock strikes twelve.

The story was about a marine confined in a wheelchair named Jake. He was recruited to travel with his this group of scientist who's job is to study the life of the natives in Pandora. Mining a rare mineral that costs fortune is their main mission. Since living in Pandora's atmosphere is toxic, they've come up to this "Avatar Program" that would let them link their consciousness and emotions to an avatar which is remotely controlled by their human body. Jake, even if he has no idea how it is to live in Pandora, was given a chance to control an avatar. He was amazed on the beauty Pandora,learned and loved how the natives live and give importance to their world and finally made his was to the heart Neytiri, a feamle Na'vi. As days pass and as he learn their culture, he began to feel like he is one of them. In the end he fought not for the mission given to him but for the welfare of the world he learned to love and considered his own.

The movie was indeed great and full of action and suspense. We didn't watch it in 3D though. As many critics say the movie should be watched in 3D so you can appreciate the true beauty of the film. As for me, judging the plot and the story, although the film is very futuristic, some of the scenes or parts of the movie were kinda predictable already like the idea of making the main character fall in love to the world that is completely different from his. I am impressed with the effects shown in the movie so if you love animations then you should try this. All in all, for me the movie was one of those films that were over rated but just the same still the movie was good.

RATING:
3.7 movie tickets
