Avatar..a glimpse of a future?

Finally last weekend we managed to drag ourselves to watch the movie, "Avatar".

Being dog tired , was expecting to doze off throughout the movie for from some scant feedback from friends who had watched the movie , i was also expecting that it is just another far fetched science fiction tale with all its gadgetry to please the audience.

How wrong i was? the movie was AWESOME...

Enjoyed every single minute, the lead actor (Sam Worthington..))with his cool demeanour did not let the movie down with his portrayal as the handicapped ex marine but also as an avatar learning the ways of the "blue people".

Sigourney Weaver has always been a favourite of mine but has has she aged!

The story line may seem melodramatic but the message none less that Cameron tried to relay is a strong powerful one...the need for us mankind to be in symbiosis with our natural surroundings and the bonding one needs with each other must be felt with the intensity of a shared need for survival and well being.Ya in our own context we need to embrace each other more irrespective of race, creed and colour.

When the director James Cameron accepted his Best Picture trophy for Avatar at the Golden Globe awards on Sunday night, he had a very specific message to sell. “Avatar asks us to see that everything is connected,” he began, explaining to the packed ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel the true meaning of a film that’s set almost exclusively in the hyper-real jungle world of Pandora. “And if you have to go four and a half light years to another made-up planet to appreciate the miracle of a world we have right here, well, ya know what, that’s the wonder of cinema right there. That’s the magic.”

The magic of Avatar, however, has been so potent that some film fans have felt it linger long after the closing credits.

I cant agree more with the above statement..indeed Avatar is a transformational experience particularly if we watched it on 3-D.

You will possibly begin to appreciate what mother nature has endowed us and the wonders of God's creation is beyond human's instinct to be an all dominant specie.

Will i want to watch this movie again? i will once it's on Bluray!!!
