Avatar

Avatar is Sci-Fi movie written and directed by James Cameron...Why am I telling you this? If you don't know what Avatar is then you have been living under a rock for the past year. I am fully aware that this review is pretty late seeing as how the movie was released on December 18 of '09, but I just now saw the movie yesterday. :)

Avatar takes a trip to another world called Pandora where humans (or Sky People) are killing the natives to Pandora, the Na'vi, for a precious rock that is worth millions on Earth. Jake Sully, Sam Worthington, is linked to his "Avatar" to convince the Na'vi to relocate, so the humans can take what they want. Selfish, aren't we? The only problem is Jake Sully falls in love with the land, the people, and a certain someone ;) Jake now feels protective over the land and won't let the Sky People destroy it anymore.

Honestly, when I first saw the commercials for Avatar, you could practically hear my eyes rolling. Then, the more trailers I saw for it, the more intrigued I became. I wasn't interested enough to go to the movie theater and pay 8 bucks to see it though. Within the first couple of weeks of it's release, reviews were everywhere! Whether they were on television, in blogs, or just people chatting about it in the hall; you could tell that people were in love with this movie.

The special features are truly incredible, as well as the acting. I found myself wishing I was a Na'vi. Pandora seemed so peaceful and amazing. When I was younger, I was obsessed with X-Men. My friend and I would pick our characters and act out all kinds of stuff while we pretended we had super-powers and had hot boyfriends. (Cause that's important when your nine years old) If Avatar had been created when I was younger, I would have without a doubt have acted the same way as I did six years ago. (Hmm...that's not that long ago now that I think about it.)

Anyways, James Cameron did an amazing job and made one heck of a movie that will be remembered and admired for years to come.
