AVATAR - An unbelievable experience


Just returned home after watching AVATAR at the wimbledon IMAX theatre. Wanted to share my experience when they are still fresh in my mind ..sorry heart. Remembering Dr.Grace's (Sigourney Weaver) advice to Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) to videotape his feelings when they are still green! I just chose to see a movie this weekend for no good reason - plenty of free time since my family moved back to India with 4 straight days of christmas holidays.

I dont want to narrate the story and want the person who is reading this to experience the movie in his/her own style. I do like fairy tales but honestly not a great fan of Harry Porter, Lord of the Rings or Narnia. The first version of all these movies fascinated me for various techniques but I was not really carried away by any. They were just movies like a passing cloud. Today, it was a different experience.

Along with Jake Sully the director makes everyone in the theatre enter the world of Pandora and be one among the Na'vis. Every tiny creature in the Pandora world is bond with love and striving for the survival of their mother nature. If Beauty lies in the beholder's eyes, Neytiri is the most beautiful lady I ever saw. The truth and the vigour in her eyes bonds us with her magical world. I could never call it a fictitious movie : The concept of Incarnation, portrayal of 'the Navi's' with the expressive yellow eyes, creation of the Avatars with blue bodies, bow and arrow and a tilak on fore head (I found it only for Jake) was unbelievingly impressive. After my 2.30 hr bonding with the movie, neither the cutting edge technologies nor the big budget mattered to me.

All that mattered was 'We killed our Mother earth' and my thirst for the green world begins...
