'Avatar' is directed by James Cameron. And he has come up with a thought provoking storyline but then
it is the presentation that overpowers everything. The narrative was equally competent.
Story:
The story happens in 22nd century. Human scientists discover that there is another planet called
Pandora which contains rich minerals which are quite valuable. The army takes up the mission on going
to Pandora and rob the minerals. But there is a problem. There is a sect of na'vis, a humanoid race
are inhabitants of Pandora. They are quite tall with blue skin, golden eyes and a supple tile. There
is not enough oxygen over there and human beings can't survive. The scientists invent a new process
(kind of Matrix process) of Avatar which makes select human beings look-alike of na'vis and sends them
across to Pandora to get more information so that their military attack would be immaculate. Jake (Sam
Worthington) is a marine who lost his legs in a warfare. His identical twin brother was groomed to be
an Avatar, but dies. The Colonel promises his legs back (an expensive operation) if he cooperates to
be an Avatar. After going to Pandora as an Avatar, Jake realises that the sect of na'vis are kind-
hearted people who co-exist with the nature. He falls in love with the local princess Neyitiri (Zoe
Saldana). Jake has orders to follow, But, he learns that Colonel is destroying good people for the
sake of minerals. He decides to save Pandora from humans. All this forms the rest of the story. And
what happens hereafter is to be seen on the screen.
Performance:
Sam Worthington did justice to his role and he played his part effectively, Zoe looks beautiful even
in the avatar creation and her presence is sensuous, Sigourney was sensible and was apt, Giovanni
Ribisi didn't have much, Michelle Rodriguez was neat, Stephen Lang was standard. Others did their bit
to add value to the film.
Music:
'Avatar' music is composed by James Horner. The background music has Indianness in it and the
background score reminds us of familiar tunes and certain compositions are captivating.
