Ok, it seems no reviews yet, then I will go first.
I did watch that movie on the very first day itself not because its mother is James C or music is by James Horner - no big guesses it was just a team outing. Am not a movie freak and quite hesitant to watch movies, trust me or not I watched a movie after 2 full years
( no movies in the 2 full years gap - yeah I know am missing a lot of good stuff ) and it happen to be Avatar
And now to the review part, I didn't know the story or the sketch of it, only thing that I came to know was it was James C's dream movie for which the plot was sketched in 1994 itself, so I had 1000 times more expectation than the movie - Titanic. To me surprise, that wasn't fulfilled, its making me to rate 'OK' with respect to the great movies James C had given, on a general bar - it would be rated according to me as 'Above bar'
The movie is an awesome 'visual treat' - I mean it with the self illuminating synapses, plants, trees from the moon - Pandora. Above all what I liked the most in the movie was storyline - it was many many times more powerful than other movies ( I am not pointing at any movies, so no war please
). Its not just always we fight with the aliens and win against them
all the time - the usual Hollywood movie style. But quite different and enticing that the genome bred humans ( DreamWalker ) fight against our own race to save the race of the people - who are leading a calm life in their own planet. Simply put the line is " evil is evil, where ever it might be, just clean it "
I would be doing a big mistake if am not saying or praising anything about the composition by James Horner. Absolutely fantastic, I have always been tied to his other composition for 2 things ... 1) It inspires you 2) His notes always go with the movie. I don't have to point at anything it was a wholesome treat, some tunes ( at the time of writing this review(?)
) is still running in my mind.
Its more of a creativity block buster, something if I have to translate - " for a child that is starting to see each and every thing in the world - its new, its new, absolutely new - it would be continuously amazed at creativity of the creator" that was my impression when I watched the movie - still can't come out of that - starting from birds, eyes of the bird, chopper, virtual reality, plant, herbs, horse, synapse, roots of the trees, mud, human structure, the big, the big 'Home Tree' and what not ... I can keep saying about that ...
I can watch the movie again, just to see whats there in it as a mark of creativity .. frankly its quite not possible to have a deep look of everything that's in a frame .. grab it as fast as you can
...
Rest I don't have to say anything special about graphics, special effects, etc and etc they are splendid and implicit with the review and movie.
Am a big fan of the one liner humour ( one liner sed, one liner awk
) in any movies, here that has come out very well ...
( I need to take some samples ...,
now shut up and fly straight ....
nice meeting you, how are you doing? ... )
I just can't stop laughing at them ... simply splendid ..
I have spoken a lot about this movie now, time for you folks to watch now.
Enjoy the movie and post more here !
