It’s James Cameron’s Avatar this coming December 18 and for those chosen few that had viewed this film, which was estimated to have been budgeted around $300 to $500 Million, was shown. So what does critics say about the most awaited Scifi film of the year (plus the fact that it’s Cameron’s film after Titanic)? It’s time for the “say” of those who had had the privilege of seeing the movie that kept people buzzing (next to New Moon that is).

Titanic was a film from James Cameron that everybody thought would b e a flop. However, public records search shows that it earned Billions worldwide and made blockbuster history. It was one of the best films I personally had ever seen and surely many could agree to this. Now, after twelve years of not directing (except for documentaries and concentrating on developing the 3-D fusion camera system which he used in this new film) he does movies again for a major production in AVATAR.

The story revolves around Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a US marine who is paralyzed from waist down. He was recruited for the avatar project in the planet of Pandora; mission to do a background check on the planet’s natives called the Na’vi. This was for the humans to have a diplomatic solution to moving the said natives to another location since the place where they are presently based is where important minerals are kept. But with the native’s place being sacred, they refused to such request thus a war broke leaving Sully in a dilemma.

With regards to the visuals, the planet’s atmosphere even the futuristic outlook seemed so realistic bravo to the computer generated technology used. The actors were chosen very well that even their voices fit well with the feel it needs to invoke. However the lowest quality, as said by the critique, is the story itself which didn’t quite meet the expectation like that of Titanic and Terminator 2 (also a film by James Cameron), that did find a person more awestruck especially with the flood of emotions in a particular scene (they made people cry). It is good news however that this film is still highly recommended must-see for the whole family coming this December 18.
