Avatar (3D)

Avatar is an epic movie full of 3D graphic which tickles your senses. While the storyline is quite predictable and boring, the imaginative world of Pandora will leave you breathless.

Jake Sully, a retired marine hero, takes up an offer to continue his deceased twin brother Tom' high-level research work at another planet, Pandora. Pandora is another planet, many light years away from earth, inhabited by the native sapient, na'vi. The na'vi hold a deep connection to their environment and people, fully encapsulated in the circle of energy which flows through their lives - past, present and future.

Jake works with Dr Grace Augustine and Norm in researching on the unique environment and culture of the na'vi. The core of the operations is headed by Parker and Colonel Miles, whose aim is to move the na'vi so as to excavate and export a very expensive mineral back to Earth.

The adventure for Jake begins when he gets lost in the woods of Pandora on his first dream-walker excursion. While it is unlikely for him to survive, Jake surprises his team in not only surviving but also gets accepted by the Omaticaya tribe.

He starts to assimilate with the lives of the Omaticaya, learning their ways and eventually becomes accepted by the people as he passed the test of becoming a man. It becomes more challenging for Jake as the reality of both worlds start to merge and conflict with his loyalty to the research team, military operations and the Omaticaya people. Watch the move for the ending.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 fairy clouds. The movie is quite enjoyable. The lives of the Omaticaya people is simple yet extraordinary as you experience a totally different eco-system. There are a lot of parallels being drawn from animes which run along the same line with mother earth. My only complains, the movie is a little long and my butt hurts from sitting too long. Other than that, go for it. It is worth the money.
