Avatar ( 2009 film )

James Cameron is one of my favorite director. I watched all most of his movies starting from Alien 2. And his master piece T2 ( Though people say Titanic is his the best, but I won't agree with that ), I watched T2 movie n number of times. Even now after these many years if you see that movie, you will be amazed by the CG work and stunts. James Cameron has a style as he always keeps multiple climaxes in his movies. Usually in all other Hollywood films, once the mega fight ends then you can conclude that movie is over. But in Cameron movies, that is not the case, he won't satisfy simply with one climax, he keeps putting it until you say, enough my stomach is full. The best example is the climax in True - Lies and Alien 2. You watch those movies and observe the climax(s), you understand what I'm saying.

So, such a great director was making a movie after 7 years and that too after of his biggest hit Titanic, and he took around 4 years to make the movie, which is Avatar. Considering all those things I had  huge exceptions on Avatar.  I watched this movie in 3D. Though the movie is visual wonder, when compare to his previous movies, I didn't feel as it is Cameron's best work. I felt something is missing. The way I felt  when I first watched Terminator 2 ( like MAN WHAT A MOVIE HE MADE), not felt alike when I watched avatar, It doesn't mean that movie is bad or something. After wining that many Oscars, it is sure that it has so much stuff. Perhaps, I expected so much action and thrill, as like in T2 and True / Lies. Though there are actions scenes, but those are not enough for me :)

I think after Titanic, Cameron has changed so much. He is trying to put humanity and some kind of message in his movies, that's what reflected in Avatar. Where as his other movies T2 and Alien 2 are fully commercial type so he had put a lot of action and thrilling scenes.

Anyway, I more I watch the more I liked this movie. The CG work is really mind blowing and it has reached its peak and I doubt there would be any better graphics in movies in next 10 years time.

I watched some of the deleted scenes in Blu-ray and those are not very long scenes. However, it was a pleasure to watch them,

The lead actors acting done by the actors Sam Worthington and Zoe is good. I think Sam Worthington was unknown guy before this film. May be he acted in few films but not that popular actor. I wonder that year was his lucky year as he acted in several Hollywood high budgeted films like Terminator salvation and Avatar. I heard he was auctioned for James bond role, but lost to Daniel.

If you ask me story of the film, it is something like this,  "Hero goes to "Navi" people as as a diplomat to know their secrets as humans needs their land for business, eventually he fells in love with a Navi's girl and rebel with the humans to protect their land". The basic plot of the story is not unique or new, however, the premises are different.

Finally I would say this is another best ( not THE best)  work done by James Cameron.
