Avatar, by James Cameron, is by far my favorite movie ever. I have seen this movie at least five times and it seems to never get old. I could probably watch it over ten times and still love it just as much! I love everything about this movie; the characters, the character development, the creatures, the action, the plot, the overall message and of course the special effects and graphics. As a personal experience, I cannot take my eyes off the screen while the movie is playing even though I know what is going to happen. Every scene is just as exciting as if it were the first time I have ever seen it.
One of the things that stood out to me most was the respect that the Na'vi had for their world and their natural surroundings. Their whole lifestyle depends on the health of their planet and mother tree. It points out how humans are neglecting the Earth and killing it for resources and that if one person stands up for what is right, we really can change the way things are even if it seems impossible.
Every single creature and plant in this movie is unique and different. The entire movie is animated and everything created virtually through graphic design. It is unbelievable how much detail was put into every scene and every single thing on the screen from the color schemes, to the different language spoken by the Na'vi, the beautiful and realistic scenery and plant life, tiniest markings on every creature. The intense details put into this movie makes the story way more interesting. There is also never a boring scene in this movie; there is always something happening and always something to look at.
Design of characters and creatures: 10/10
Design of scenery: 10/10
Ability of plot to keep viewer hooked/Excitement level: 10/10
Themes/lessons relatable to real life: 10/10
Overall: 40/40
This is an amazing movie for all types of viewers! Children do not have to understand the plot to be intrigued by the amazing graphics and it is even better for those who can understand everything that is packed into this film.
(I love this movie so much so I am very biased!)
Hey Katie! Overall I liked your evaluation very much. Your passion and love for the movie really shined through and your summary of the movie was well done. I would just include some more major points (such as the humans and military as well as the reason for them coming to Pandora too). I felt like you were definitely an expert on the movie (name dropping and specific detail could help that even further!) I feel a little bit more of a focus would help improve your evaluation. I see you're really into the interwoven culture the Na'vi have with all life, maybe tell how that really bring s magic to the movie and makes it intriguing to watch. Hope this comment helps. Btw this is Jess form class!
ReplyDeleteHey this is Chris!
ReplyDeletei agree with Jessica, it really seems like and show that you love Avatar. But maybe include some specific examples from the movie or even a scene. I love how your post is very visual and even the pictures alone help convey your thoughts about the amount of detail put into the movie. Overall i thought besides a few minor things, it was a good post.
