After ages an excellent 3 D movie is released by Hollywood studios, with James Cameroon producing such an extravaganza. The plot takes us to an outer spacewhere Pandora is located which is 4 light years away from Earth.
Pandora is inhabited by mutated humanoids called Navi, who survive to grow extra large ( almost 10 feet ) and live in harmony with nature which is almost perfect to be true. They are charged and interveined with their surroundings including the horses, dragon fly, trees and their mother land.
Beneath their mother tree which is designed like a huge baniyan tree, with special effects acts a focal point for living of the tribe known as Navi, and its underbelly is a treasure trove of Unobtainium. This mineral is valued at $2 lakhs per kilo on earth for producing electricity, which is implied of course.
Inorder to exploit the resources from Pandora’s terrain Avataars are created who can survive in the ozone rich territory. Humans cannot survive without O2 in this terrain. They create an Avataar to convince the tribe to vacate their domain so that the humans or people know as Sky walkers can successfully the mine the area.
Since the movie is futuristic the characters designed in Avataar too seems perfect with 12 abs plus physique. Jake ( avataar ) is the hero of the movie who is sent to mingle with the Omaticaya tribe. He is rescued in the first act by Neytri ( daughter of the chieftian ) by ferocious hunting dogs. She falls pity to Jake and his innocense, instead of killing him as intruder rescues him from ferocious dogs. She reveals the ways of life of the tribe and scolds him for being stupid enough to incite and attract the dogs to attack him in darkness.
Both of them are taken by surprise invasion by their tribes and they are captured and presented before the chieftian. The Chieftian wants to confirm that Jake is not an intruder with vested interests. He is baptised of sorts by the Queen who accepts his credential. But the chieftian makes sure that he learns the ways of life to survive in Pandora’s enviorns. He bestows the job of taming the shrew to his daughter Neytri. How they go about learning to-gether and fall in love in a surreal enviorns is basically the plot of the movie.
How the villians Col Miles and his mercenaries destroy the serene atmosphere of Pandora with lethal missiles ? How the Navi tribes regroup under Jake and Neytri’s leadership is part of an interesting story line.
The SFX unleashed in 3D is almost too surreal, but enjoyable. It is a real good movie for an entire family to watch. Do watch it in 3D because the technology perfection is superb. Cinematography is the best part of the movie, which i enjoyed to the core. One has to be prepared to pay double the price wherever one watches in view of the cost involved in production of the movie. The occupancy was 75% which speaks better of the production and promotion for the film. I hope James cameroon recovers his cost of 2000 crores spent on the movie, so that he comes with more brilliant and spectacular movie in this genrie.
The movie is a scuttle message to human being to care for their environs. With the imminent failure of talks or consensus over means to combat global warming at Cophenhagen this movie sends out a strong signal in the form of AVATAAR.
FOR ALL THE MOVIE BUFFS, it is an excellent christmas and new year gift...............a pandora box office hit
TITBITS ; check out the Indian connection in the form of Dileep Rao aka Dr Max Patel, even Joe Saldhana has some connection i suspect.
