Avatar, aka Flight of the Blue People

         First of all, the story isn't greatest thing in this movie. It's basically Pocahontas, but with blue aliens. Not to say that I didn't like it or anything, it's just a really simple story where girl falls for explorer, they have to make peace between both of their people. The effects were where it was super boss, I'd never seem motion capture like that before. It just looked so damn real!

I think Neytiri was basically our usual cyberpunk heroine. She's the princess, she's badass, and can fight well as any man. Sully is a good character to follow because he is new to everything going on. He's as new to everything as we are. So because he's outside of the system he's able to make his own decisions and he can make his own path throughout the course of the story. I think his constant recordings of what was going on gave it a sort of documentary sort of feel which I think was a good way of tying what they were doing in the movie to what modern scientists do today. I think Sully's legs were the perfect bargaining chip when it came to which side he was going to be on. Who wouldn't want legs so they can walk again? It's one thing when you're doing something for money or power, but this is something more than that. It's how he physically operates and moves. Sully has to make a choice, stay with the girl/people he loves or sell them out and get his legs.

          I really loved the world that James Cameron where everything was linked together, except I think the part with the hair braids was really overdone. I've seen some many odd spin off os Avatar people syncing with all kinds of weird things. 

       But the world itself was really believable. I mean the culture behind the story was really what moved the story along, without the system of unity throughout the planet via their life force, all would be lost. This always reminded me of the little crystals the people had in Atlantis as well. Without this life force, the people and the world dies. There was a lot of teamwork as well. Sully worked with the scientists to retaliate against the Colonel's force. The people of Pandora team up with their tribes as well as the creatures of Pandora itself.
