James Cameron is back with a new blockbuster ready to enchant you with it's magnificint effects, music and story.
Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) is a man who's trapped in a wheel chair because of an injury in his back which has made him unable to move his legs. When his twin brother dies, he's contacted to replace his brother in a huge project on the planet of Pandora far, far away. The year is 2154. Man has found a very valuable thing called 'unobtanium' on Pandora, which sells for a lot of mony on Earth. The problem is that the natives who's living on Pandora, called the Na'Vi, has their home right on the spot where there's more unobtanium then anywhere else. 
So, to get the unobtanium, the people working there has created some kind of clones of the Na'Vi. The clones are creatures called avatar's and are created by DNA from the Na'Vi mixed with the DNA of humans. With special techniques, these avatar bodies can be controlled by the person who's DNA is in the avatar. Jake and his brother has the same DNA, so Jake can use his brother's avatar, which makes things easier for the scientists. 
Jake is supposed to get to learn the Na'Vi and gain their trust to make them move from the place where they live so that man can get the unobtanium. But when Jake starts to learn about the Na'Vi, he begins to wonder who the real enemy is...
Before I saw this movie, my thoughts about it were: "This is probably pretty entertaining, but also kind of weird and to science fiction-y for me". I was right about that it's entertaining. It's extremely entertaining. James Cameron's right; this is a movie that you want to go and see. The Na'Vi is so extremly wonderfully created that you lose your breath when you watch this movie. Really takes your breath away.
I was wrong about this being to weird etc. It's not. If you have some fantasy, you'll probably love this. I did. I was totally enchanted by it. It looks amazing. The flying mountains, the Na'Vi, the lights of the plants in the night, the animals, the water, the cliffs, the trees (especially the Sacred Tree) and everything else as well. 
It doesn't take more then a few seconds to hate the stupid and evil men who's just thinking of money. They doesn't care if they ruin an innocent planet or the people or trees on it. That's the type of people who doesn't deserve to live, at least not as long as they go on as they do.
The music by James Horner is splended and gives you goose bumps while hearing the lovely and beautiful melodies created for this movie. If you liked the music of "Titanic", you'll probably like this as well. When the Na'Vi princess Neytiri (Zoë Seldana) is flying around the tree tops to show Jake how to act like a Na'Vi, the music grabs you with such strength that the only thing you can do is to sit, staring at the screen and let yourself being filled with the beautiful music.
I have so much to say about this movie that I could go on forever. Luckily for you, I won't. Just a little more. Just a little. James Cameron seems to like putting hundreds of millions into his movie productions. The result is stunning and breathtaking, but will it be a success? I hope that it will be. Maybe not like "Titanic", but at least so successful that it will earn enough money to not be a flop. It would be really sad if it would...
I strongly recommend this movie to everyone with some imagination. If you can't imagine that this could be possible, not even a bit, then you're not the right person to see it. But please, see it because otherwise you'll have no idea of what you're missing.
