Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Avatar is James Cameron's child in waiting for longer than a decade. Twelve years since Titanic Cameron again delivers with a great science fiction epic with the usual tropes and clichés but somehow making it work. The film looks gorgeous and the planet Pandora will surely give nature pangs to many of us. It makes me wonder how much a great storyteller's skills matter- Everything and everyone was against Cameron and somehow, he has managed to deliver. If you haven't seen Avatar(how?) you should see it as soon as possible- this is a great science fiction adventure from a master filmmaker.

Wow! First time seeing this, almost 10 years after it was released, and I gotta say what a fantastic film it was. The only downside to this movie was that it is reminiscent of white people to do what they did and destroy foreign culture. I cannot wait for the next one.

If you read my review of Titanic, you know I thought the background part of Titanic drags. I feel the same way for Avatar-the Avatar world is SO much more entertaining. Wouldn't it be more clever if we saw the humans at the end and realized humans wanted to endanger Avatars instead the back and forth interaction? It may drag but it is overall good. By the way, when not adjusted for inflation, this is the highest grossing movie of all time!
