  James Camerons Avatar is Legendary!

  
  
  When it was announced that James Cameron was back everybody started talking about what does this mastermind have planned for his next film and what we got was something that we could not expect.James Cameron did not only create several great movies but he also produced and directed many of them,Few of them getting him Academy Awards (Oscars).
  
  James Cameron created such c-lassics as Aliens(1986),The Terminator(1984),Terminator 2:Judgment day(1991),The Abyss(1989),True Lies(1994),Titanic(1997) and now Avatar(2009).
  
  Not only did those movies become instant c-lassics,They also became Legendary and were soon known as the works of James Cameron because people realized that no one can make a movie like James Cameron can.Cameron was away for a rather long period of time before coming back and blowing us off of our seats with Avatar,Many thought that James Cameron was done with the movie industry but it seems like it was just the beginning.
  
  When James Cameron worked on Aliens he knew he wanted to do something spectacular and when he met up with Sigourney weaver he said that it was a done deal because she was the perfect actor for that role.When it came to Terminator 1 and 2,Cameron knew that Arnold could do some great things and thanks to James Camerons brilliant mind we now remember the c-lassical quotes such as "Ill be back" and "Hasta La Vista Baby" through Arnold but few people thanked Cameron for his great mind for coming up with those lines.Titanic is the movie that is mostly attached to the name of Cameron as people seem to remember the romantic story,great scenery and the incredible soundtrack by Celine Dion(From which she became famous).Titanic earned James Cameron his three Oscars.
  
  James Camerons movies are known to recieve several Academy Awards:
  
  Aliens(1986) - Won 2 Oscars,Nominated for 7 Oscars in Total.
  Terminator 2:Judgment day(1991) -Won 4 Oscars,Nominated for 6 in Total.
  The Abyss(1989) - Won an Oscar,Nominated for 4 in Total.
  True Lies(1994) - Nominated for an Oscar.
  Titanic(1997) - Won 11 Oscars,Nominated for 14 in Total.
  
  
  
  After Several great movies created,produced and written by James Cameron we come to Avatar.Some people have put attention to the fact that the movie is not just called Avatar it is called "James Camerons Avatar" because Cameron wants to make it known and heard that he is officially back with another masterpiece that only he can create.
  
  Avatar is set on a planet called Pandora,The race on Pandora is called Na'vi.The entire movie takes place on Pandora and Sam Worthington(Jake Sully) plays the leading male in this movie as this entire movie revolves around the Na'vi and him.Jake Sully is a former US Army Ranger who is in a wheelchair,After hearing that his brother passed away he quickly takes his brothers place on the ship to Pandora as otherwise his brothers Avatar,who is created by his DNA would go to waste and due to Jake and his brother having similar DNA he would make a perfect fit for the Avatar.
  
  
  
  Shortly after Jake Sully takes his brothers place on the ship he starts realizing that this isnt the right thing to do for him but wants to do it for his brother.Many of the officers and soldiers on Pandora make fun of Jake because of his disability because they feel like they dont need a cripple on this mission and that it would only slow them down.Jake Sully and other people who are put into the bodys of Avatars are taken into the Stronghold of Na'vi to get them off of their land but that shortly changes when Sully falls in love with Neytiri.
  
  Dr. Grace Augustine(Sigourney Weaver)is a large part of the movie as she is the head in charge of the way they should use the Avatars and what they should be thinking about when they are inside an Avatars body.She is a superb actor as we all already know,but not only that,she also plays this role like any other.She uses her sense of humor throughout her role in this movie but does it with finesse like she always does.
  
  Parker Selfridge(Giovanni Ribisi) is the main man in charge on Pandora as he wants to get the so called "treasure" that lies beneath the sacred tree of the Na'vi race on Pandora."This baby sells for 20 million a kilo" is a quote that you will be remembering him by after he says to get them off their land so they can get to the "treasure" that lies under the sacred soil of Pandora.
  
  
  
  
  Neytiri(Zoe Saldana) is the daughter of the leaders of Na'vi people and falls in love with the Avatar of Jake Sully,She is aware that Jake is an Avatar but shortly after Jake says he wants to learn their culture,She starts to teach him the way of the Na'vi,Jake and Neytiri fall in love and grow a strong bond on Pandora,After a few sessions in the body of his Avatar,Jake starts to have a hard time with choosing a side to fight for.
  
  Whether he fights for his race,where they want to get the Na'vi off of their land to get to the "treasure" and get rich or to become one with the Na'vi and be able to walk and be with the ones that he truly loves.Throughout the movie Jake and Neytiri show their affection towards each other and it is clear that Jake will have to make a hard decision.
  
  The Animations on the Na'vi are breathtaking as they are so lifelike that its scary,The voice acting is the best its ever been in any movie and the story is as superb as you would expect from James Cameron.He is able to put everything into a 2 hour and 41 minute movie.The Story is the main attraction besides the incredible animations and great acting as it really pulls you in and makes you want to understand more about Pandora.
  
  Overall this movie is everything you could expect from James Cameron and a whole lot more as it contains Romance,Action,Thriller,War and many more genres of the movie industry all compacted into one spectacular movie that will go down in History as one of the Greatest of all Time.Sam Worthington is an up and coming actor who is just starting to show his true talent and will definetly be an actor we will be seeing a lot for years to come,Sigournery Weaver yet again puts on an excellent performance and Zoe Saldana has a voice that would make even the hottest women in the world jealous as the wordplay and the tension in the movie is top notch and as good as it will ever get.
  
  
  
  
  If you are like me and are waiting for the Movie of the Century,Your wait is over as Avatar is the best movie you will ever see,It is maxed out from top to bottom with flashy animations,lifelike Avatars and NaVi,The Scenery is fantastic and the acting and voiceover is spectacular.I will not be going into the storyline too much just yet.
  
  If you have yet to see James Camerons Avatar,I suggest you do so immediatly and if you trust me and think that I know what Im talking about you will go and see this movie as soon as possible as I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed in this masterpiece and for that I want to thank James Cameron who yet again amazes us all with another Legendary work of art.
  
  Thank you James Cameron,Thank you Sam Worthington,Thank you Sigournery Weaver,Thank you Zoe Saldana and Thank you to everybody who worked on this movie.
  
  Feel free to comment,I hope some of you will give me good comments as I wish to discuss more about this masterpiece and will be making several blogs on this movie which will surely bring in several Oscars.James Camerons Avatar Review from ErkiB is on its way.
