AVATAR Movie Review

Avatar will be released to theaters on Decembre 18, 2009. The movie stars Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez, Zoe Saldana, Giovanni Ribisi, Joel David Moore, and directed by James Cameron.
Avatar Synopsis: AVATAR takes us to a spectacular new world beyond our imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery, as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization. The film was first conceived by Cameron 14 years ago, when the means to realize his vision did not yet exist. Now, after four years of actual production work, AVATAR delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film, disappears into the emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story.
If you are planning to go see the movie, here are a few movie reviews from around the web to help you make up your mind.

Get your pitchforks ready people! I’m guessing from people’s reactions last night, not all of you are going to like what I have to say. To begin, yes this is the epic visual masterpiece that you’ve all been waiting for and it succeeds in everything it tries to do (visually).The overall look is stunning beyond belief, the special effects are impeccable, Cameron got me to shed a tear and sit on the edge of my seat… BUT the film isn’t flawless, not by a long shot… Read More
Washington Post
Director-screenwriter James Cameron’s futuristic sci-fi epic pushes technological boundaries, mixing live-action with arresting motion-capture and other digital animation in ways that look remarkably alive. Yet despite its awe-inspiring visuals (try to see the 3-D version), the story of “Avatar” is disappointingly heavy-handed. Though set in the year 2154 on Pandora, a moon in the Alpha Centauri-A star system, the film deliberately evokes the way Europeans subjugated and killed native peoples in Africa and the Americas in order to plunder natural resources. The film’s low opinion of humankind borders on misanthropy. Even so, teens will likely glom onto “Avatar” as a must-see and will find much to admire. Read More
Star Tribune
“Avatar” is a story about a trip to a new planet, and the film vibrates with the excitement of discovery and awe. Not just for the sight of six-legged rhinos and butterfly-hued dragons, but for the thousands of hours of work that unite here in a creative epiphany.
James Cameron’s epic vision is finally onscreen, and its impact is stunning. The film is a breakthrough, a new chapter in the history of science fiction, like “Metropolis,” “2001,” “Star Wars” and “Blade Runner.” It is a popcorn blockbuster with poetry in its soul. Read More
