Avatar Movie Review :

And we thought sinkiing the Titanic was a titan task! Well, this time round, James Cameron chooses to play god and creates a whole new world with such exquisite finesse, aesthete and eye for detail, he almost takes your breath away. In terms of sheer technology, Avatar marks the comiing of age of both CGI and 3-D cinema with its art house special effects and its shock and awe treatment. On the one hand, it's the sheer iridescence of the canvas and the never-before contours of the creatures, the flora, the fauna flyiing across the screen that makes you marvel at how computers can augment creativity; on the other, it is the umpteen times you jump back to avoid the arrows, the guns or slide away from the floatiing dandelions and fierce raptors that leaves you completely mesmerised with this brand new cinematic experience. Truly, Cameron's vision of Pandora is pure art, with its tall, wide-eyed, slender, blue Na'vi people, it's post-modern creatures and its verdant greens. But more than all this, it is Cameron's cry against war and violence that makes Avatar an eloquent testimonial to the present. Mercifully, the film isn't visual extravaganza alone; it has a meaniingful story too that could end up makiing this magnum opus a modern-day parable for pacifists, climatologists, humanists, globalists.... For the filmmaker openly indicts America for its post 9/11 expansionist policies and clearly states: ``when people are sittiing on shit that you want, you make them your enemies. That is the only way you justify takiing the stuff away from them!'' Stuff? Minerals, heeree. Oil, in the real world.
