Tokareva Margarita, E-06

The main film of the year 2009 is «Avatar» by James Cameron, the producer
of such films as «Terminator», «Titanic», «The Strangers». This film ranks with
above-mentioned world-famous films and probably belongs to the science-fiction
genre.
The action of the film is set on the planet Pandora in the year of 3000. The
plot is rather simple: the superhero Avatar is to save the alien planet and to fulfill
this mission he struggles with a lot of difficulties.
The main character, Jack Sally, is a disabled navy who has just come back
from the war. The film starts with the scene when he is invited to take part in a
secret expedition to the planet, inhabited by weird creatures. Thus, he becomes the
part of the programmed called Avatar. Being turned into a three-meter giant with
blue skin, he is sent to the planet with the help of special «drivers» that link his
mind to the mind of Avatar.
What impressed me most is the spectacular world of aliens that we, the
audience, see through the eyes of the main character. The special effects and 3D
technologies enhance the impression of the bright and colorful world in contrast to
the human one, which is grey and dying. The plot of the film is fast-moving with
some amusing episodes. In addition to the wonderful graphics, there is also the
love line of the "dream worker" to a beautiful alien woman who, being initially
hostile and suspicious, falls in love with him. This kind of love is forbidden, which
makes it even more interesting to watch the development of events.
To sum up, I can say that the film «Avatar» is that kind of film that takes us
to a special world beyond imagination. More than that, it is the film that you want
to watch repeatedly. The new film by Cameron couldn’t be missed.
