AVATAR: Pocahontas in Sci-Fi

The Review:
When I first previewed the trailer, I wasn't interested watching this movie. I didn't know what the movie was about and assumed it would be just another not-so-kicking blockbuster movie. But after I watched the movie, I could tell you that the trailer is not helpful. The trailer is nothing compared to the movie.

Avatar is Pocahontas in Sci-Fi, only the main character is "John Smith" instead of "Pocahontas" and the battle is between men and alien (or should I say Na'vi and alien?) instead of the battle between two races. The goal is same, natural resources to bring further wealth.

Avatar brought mesmerizing picturesque of Pandora World. The pictures are fantastic. When you watch a fantasy movie, this you have to keep in mind: Know that every landscape in a fantasy movie is painted by men and came from men's creativity. So to see how outstanding the Pandora forest, to see how it's very detailed, will make you more amazed. You will go "whooa"-ing inside your head everytime the movie takes you to Pandora.

The character is well developed. The main character, Jake Sully, goes from useless, jobless, paralyzed ex marine to the greatest warrior and becomes the hope of every Na'vi. The process of how he finally see the world through Na'vi's eyes.

There is something about the word: see, in this movie. As Norm Spellman, a character in this movie explained to Sully: "When you say 'I see you', it's not literally meant I see you in front of me. But it's more like I see into you." Among Na'vis, they say "I see you" instead of "I love you."

So readers, go and hit the theatre to witness the magic of movie! It's worth your time, mark my words.
