Avatar - 3D

We watched the latest movie, The Avatar in 3D. It is a long movie at 2 hours 40 mins. The movie does have excellent special effects. The luminous seeds, plants and flowers. The 3D effects were good. I feel a little disoriented after the movie. However, it is really amazing as I remembered the first 3D movie I watched was disorienting that I felt sick after a few minutes. And the horrible nauseating will remain for the rest of the day. This time, the effects were clear and the polarized glasses were of high quality. Now on reflection, it is incredible to last 2hours 40 mins watching 3D with little or no ill-effects.

The storyline is about a tribe whose village sits on a rich deposit of "Unobtainium". The company represented by humans has all the resources, technology and science. The Avatars embrace nature and give reverence when they hunt and kill the animals for food. The special effects were magical with luminesence trees, flowers and seeds. The storyline is simple. The humans have been unsuccessful so far sending in all the scientists who have a cloned Avatar that they can control and communicate with their minds through a special machine. This hero was send in to replace his twin brother who was killed in an accident. You need identical genes to control the Avatar.

The protagonist Avatar(whom I call the hero moving forward) met with the heroine who save him from attacks by wild animals. Heroine brought him to the village to meet the tribal leader, her father. She was given the unpleasant task to training and teaching him the ways of the tribe. Hero fell in love with Heroine and switch side from humans. However, humans attacked and hero is now ostracised and suspected by the Avatars as well. So the hero has some convincing to do. He took on the biggest and most terrifying pteranodon and won the respect of the tribe. He gain re-entry and organised all the tribes to fight against the human. He also prayed and asked the Mother Tree for help. Mother Tree sends in all the wild animals to help in the fight.

In the end, the Avatars won and the humans were sent back. The hero who is paralysed waist down do a soul transmigration and became a Avatar permanently.
