January 7th, 2010Movie: Avatar
I count myself lucky for being able to watch Avatar yesterday, for free. I didn’t watch it on the big silverscreen with 3D (where others say I’d appreciate the special effects even more) though, but was only viewing it in the office but I enjoyed it nevertheless. And for someone who rarely has time to watch tv (reads tv deals, yes but not really watch), much less movies, it really feels great to have the time to watch a good film again.
A movie written and directed by James Cameron (remember Titanic?), the Avatar tells the story about a paralysed man who was sent to a mission in the moon Pandora to control an alien body with his mind “but becomes torn between following his orders and protecting the world he feels is his home.” (Quote: Imdb.com) It stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver among others.
I am no pro movie critic but I think it deserves to win a Best Picture Award. Also, for me, it sends a beautiful message about taking care of the environment.
