Avatar - Breathtakingly Beautiful When movies are created, they are done so with intent. Different genres of film target specific audiences, a formula which has sustained Hollywood and it's industries since the beginning of the blockbuster movies.

When a movie is created in a manner that sets in motion any given goal, said films success is pendant on whether or not that goal is reached. If a comedy creates laughter, or if a romance produces tears, then they are successes in their own right.

So when a massively ambitious, seemingly impossible to create film aiming to usher in a new era manages to grab hold of it's audience and take them on an unprecedented cinematic roller coaster ride that delivers the goods every turn of the way, it can be considered successful.

Avatar is that success. A work in progress that spanned a decade and a half, Avatar is more than just a film - it's an experience, an event. When James Cameron set out to make this movie back in the mid 90's, he realized that his ambitions were simply too far ahead of their time.

His ideas could not be reached in a feasible manner, and due to this, he had to wait. Or create. Once informed that the image he held for this film was one that was out of grasp, he began working on the technology that would bring his masterpiece within reach. Fifteen years and nearly half a billion dollars later, James Cameron has brought that vision to the screen, and has done so in an extravagant and showstopping way.

Avatar tells the tale of a war between species, each fighting for the ultimate survival of their race. Desperate to find the fuel for their dying planet, human soldiers and scientists set out from earth and set course for Pandora. A planet connected by all living things, Pandora is home to an indigenous species known as the Na'vi, as well as the precious element Unobtanium needed to save earth.

Using transference technology, paralyzed marine Jake Sully is volunteered for the "Avatar Program", which enables the thoughts and mind of a human to be placed within the shell of a tube-born Na'vi body. Using this as technique to their advantage, Jake is sent into the harsh Jungles of Pandora in order to bond with the natives, thus gaining knowledge and insight on their ways. Having originally planned to use this knowledge as a means of negotiating the natives relocation, so that the humans can access the deposit of Unobtainium - which just happens to sit below their most worshiped and valued pseudo-deity of their planet.

While the plot on paper may read as a standard shoot'em-up action sci-fi flick, it is a near inconceivable task to truly explain how incorrect this appearance truly is. This takes a stroke from every movie, and a dab from every genre, and manages to create a portrait of beauty, in which all pre-existing notion of what cinema can and cannot do is destroyed.

Within the lengthy hundred and sixty some odd minutes of film, moviegoers will find that there is always something to keep them enthralled, a merciful gift when considering how tedious many of the longer film of recent memory can become.

No matter what can be said about the overtly cheesy script,a criticism that, while holding true, manages to fit charmingly into the over-the-top nature of the film, Avatar does as it set out to do, bringing moviegoers a cinematic experience rather than a film. Relying on the technology that he created, Cameron pours his heart into this movie, and it shows in every scene. Ranging from the absurdly detailed creatures to all-too-realistic planet, this flick manages to tell a fulfilling story while all the while throwing jaw-dropping scenery at the audience, giving them only enough time to recover before bombarding them with yet another breathtaking shot.

Be it the fantastical and charming love story told between the native and the outsider, or the too-real-to-be-true action scenes between gunships and foreign ferals, Avatar is what Star Wars was too the 70's, the Wizard Of Oz of the 40's - a masterpiece that will go down in movie history as a game changer of it's time. Adult Written by Ugzilla July 29, Nudity, language are concerns, but amazing movie overall Definitely too many times to see blue breasts exposed almost completely from the side, and they are close up enough to get teenage boys more than a bit interested.

The language is fairly strong, but not terrible There is an alien sex scene, however it is rather innocent overall I'm more concerned with all the topless perky blue alien women running around the entire movie.

The scene in question leaves much to interpretation of the viewer, they join their connectors together and hold each other closely Since they're hardly wearing clothing the entire movie as big blue natives, it's a fairly standard image throughout, not a separate crazy scene. Great themes, even now in I'm re-watching it to prep for my kids, and the visual effects are stunning.

Very beautiful movie, even though it's over a decade old with outdated technology. It holds up very, very well. Smoking by a lead character portrayed as normal at first, and then condemned later. Again, great movie. I'd let younger tweens see it if they are mature and able to stomach such a long movie with some mature themes. Adult Written by Ajai May 6, This is a fantastic film. Everyone should at least watch this film once in there life. Avatar truly does earn its reputation, and it is arguably better than Endgame.

The visual effects are absolutely stunning, and the acting is also very good. The plot, even though it may seem predictable, wasn't too big of an issue for me. I would very highly recommend this to film buffs, or anyone looking for a really good movie.

However, it may be a little too mature for younger kids. There is language throughout, and even one "sex" scene where two Pandorans mate in their own alien way. Basically, I am just advising parental caution before watching the movie. Go to Common Sense Review. Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email Print. Personalize your media recommendations.

User reviews 3. Top review. Visually Spellbinding!

I am sure my comment will be lost in a sea of blue but anyways here goes Just attended the Advanced Screening at my local "Event Cinema" BCC in 3D Now this movies graphics are gorgeous, everything is so real, the 3D just adds to the effect beautifully without distracting you. From a technical standpoint this movie is amazing, just the detail on the Navi's faces are amazing, they feel more real then their real life counterparts!

A helicopter attacks a larger flying vehicle, they exchange fire, and the helicopter is struck by a missile and crashes in a fiery explosion. An alien jumps onto a flying gunship, shoots a couple of soldiers with arrows, strikes several others with a spear and is eventually shot dead and falls off.

A flying dragon-like creature with an alien rider grabs a soldier out of a helicopter with its mouth and flings him out. An alien shoots a cow-like animal with an arrow, and then stabs it to finish it off. An alien has a wooden spike sticking out of his chest and he dies no blood is seen. A soldier hits another soldier, who's half asleep, hard in the face.

A female soldier threatens a male soldier with a pistol, makes him get to his knees and hits him in the back of the head. Two sleeping aliens are almost crushed by a huge tank-like machine that knocks trees down along its path: one alien wakes up and tries to drag the other one away, who remains unconscious while trees are crashing all around them -- eventually he wakes up, climbs on the machine, breaks its cameras, and jumps to safety when he's fired upon.

Two aliens are tied up, another alien approaches with a knife, and she cuts their bonds. An alien is tripped by a rope that's wrapped around his ankles and he's surrounded by several aliens with arrows aimed at him.
