My avatar review emailed to some friends

its an allegory showing all the aspects of humanity at all levels. It has all the rationales for committing crimes against humanity. And there is Hope and thats why i love this movie. Hope that someone can win in the eternal fight against some aspect of Evil. Its a brilliant movie without the graphical animation and the artistry that created the blue people of the tree of souls. Its a very spiritual movie. I expect to see it again and again to remind myself that something IS possible in this insane world that is destroying our soul our spirit and replacing it with false values of Success.
I find it also a tremendous support of Technology used well
Years ago I saw the very first Star Wars and I knew it was beyond anything prior in cinema. This movie Avatar is like that a breakthrough into a future of cinematic discovery
This line particularly moved me -
The Great Mother (the tree of souls) cannot take sides only only protects the balance of life

Perfectly said. Dances with Wolves in Space. But the visuals are a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I’m still shocked the next day.

my review is not quite as favorable, too long to post here, so

I could not see anything interesting in this film. It was all big marketing hype and buzz that will make this film earn big bucks.

Your review matches mine fairly well. Definitely worth the price of admission, and I hope to see it again soon.

Holywood rehashing a story line… That’s normal, as you said we’ve done this 999 times before 3D. The 3D technology allows us to feel like we are escapaing into the movie (If we can just get the person to stop talking on their cell phone next to us).

I very much enjoyed the movie. It need a few throw away lines to answer a few questions (I`d spoil it if I said), and a definately need to see on the big screen é 3D to get the movie.

Amazing movie. It was like going to the movies for the first time.

Pixar movies make Avatar look like it has the story of an Atari 2600 game.

“The story is terrorism, coming of age, 9/11, odd-love rehash you’ve seen 1,000x”

Actually, I think it was more a message against empire building and mass consumerism than terrorism.

The line where Col. Quaritch says “fight terror with terror” is where the entire cinema cringed and was polarised completely against the warmongering humans if they weren’t already.

Let down, the director is well known for bringing better stories to the big sceen.

Ferngully 3D had some amazing visuals and it definitely felt like you were flying and jumping with the characters.

Pixars CG Animation abilities are far beyond what is on display in Avatar. I’m a CG Animatior and Pixar are undoubtedly the best in the industry from a technical standpoint. They have the best animators and the best in-house programs behind their visuals.

Avatar is undoubtedly well made, but the CG Animation is not on the level of Pixar Animation studios.
