AVATAR is spoken about everywhere. It is nominated nine times for the Oscar 2010 and is likely to win several awards. Avatar is a 2009 American science fiction film written and directed by prolific film director James Cameron. Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Michelle Rodriguez as well as Stephen Lang play the leading parts.
The term "avatar" originates in Indian mythology. It means "god's visit to Earth to fix something that is broken". Vishnu, one of the 3 gods protecting creation, visits Earth often. As Hindu mythology state, Vishnu is dark-blue in color. Having been possibly inspired by Hindu mythology, Cameron has also decided to paint the aliens blue.
Set in the future (in the year 2154) on an alien moon called Pandora located the Alpha Centauri star system, Avatar film tells the eternal story of gluttony, immaturity and the ferocity that arises out of ignorance.
The story revolves around a soldier - Jack - who arrives in Pandora the planet placed in the Alpha Centauri star system in order to help The Corporation that wants to mine and export a precious mineral called unobtainium. The Na'vi are the alien arboreal humonoid civilisation thriving on the moon. They are a part of a vast symbiotic living system that comprises plants and animals which are all connected by an intricate biological interaction network. The Corporation plans to mine the planet and the Na'vi fight for their homeland. The expansion and growth of the mining colony menaces the continued existence of the local tribe.
While on a mission, Jake is taken in by the Na'vi and explores their culture, language and habitat. Natirii, the female Na'vi he meets in the forest, helps him through this journey.
Avatars are biological creations - a combination of alien and human DNA. They are controlled by a human from whose DNA they were made. The soldier controls an avatar that is made from his brother's DNA.
Avatar draws a picture of an ideal world. The ending is especially moving. The visual effects are fantastic. The alien world Cameron and his professional team display to the viewer is one of the most thought-out and consistent. The film is worth viewing.
