Avatar

If you haven't seen Avatar, the record breaking movie, you haven't lived. I have seen the movie twice and i will go again if I get the chance. There is so much to be impressed about. And I haven't even seen the 3-D version yet. The story is great. It teaches us about the respect for nature we should have and we don't. We are destroying the world and we know it but we don't do anything about it. In this movie, the humans are just like us. They are blind to what the Na'vi people see all around them: the life in nature that helps them survive. This causes a large struggle between the humans and the aliens. Or more appropriately, the Na'vi and the aliens, us.

The next impressive thing was the graphics. I love how well it was made. I can actually imagine a world just like Pandora existing. The animals remind me very much of dinosaurs. They are large reptilian looking creatures but they were similar enough to our animals here that we feel we can know what they would be like. They have these amazing pterodactyl like creatures called Ikran, or as the humans call them banshees. They ride them through the skies and hunt and fight with them. These creatures are loyal to only one in their life and campletely awesome.

The last thing that I think is amazing is something kind of subtle: the language. The language, Na'vian, that was used in the movie is actually a language. It has it's own rules for how it works and hundreds of words that you can actually use to speak with. Go to www.learnnavi.org/ to learn how to actually use the language, if you have time.

This such a great movie and the best part is, James Cameron, the director and writer, says that he is planning to make to sequels. so for all of you like me who are in love with Avatar in just a few years there will be a sequel that can break records for its gross income and that will restart the Avatar mania.
