AVATAR STORYLINE

In 2154, the RDA corporation is mining Pandora, a lush, Earth-like moon of the planet Polyphemus. Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi) heads the mining operation, and it employs former marines for security. The corporation intends to exploit Pandora’s reserves of a valuable mineral called unobtanium. Pandora is inhabited by the Na’vi, a blue-skinned neolithic species of sapient humanoids with feline characteristics. Physically stronger and taller than humans, the Na’vi live in harmony with Nature, worshiping a mother goddess called Eywa.
Humans cannot survive exposure to Pandora’s atmosphere for very long and use oxygen masks. In an attempt to improve relations with the natives, scientists create human-Na’vi hybrids called avatars, controlled by genetically-matched human operators. The scientists also lead schools for the Na’vi to learn English and to interact with the humans. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a paraplegic former marine, becomes a last-minute replacement for his identical twin brother, a recently-murdered scientist trained to be an avatar operator. Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver), the head of the Avatar Program, considers Sully an inadequate replacement for his brother, and relegates him to a bodyguard role.
Jake escorts Augustine and biologist Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore) on an exploratory mission in their avatar forms to make contact with the Na’vi, in order to help establish diplomatic relations to solve the problem of resources and end the constant threat of violence. The group is attacked by a large predator, and Jake becomes separated and lost. Attempting to survive the night in Pandora’s dangerous jungles, he is rescued by Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), a female Na’vi. Neytiri brings Jake to Hometree, which is inhabited by Neytiri’s clan, the Omaticaya. Mo’at (C. C. H. Pounder), the Na’vi shaman and Neytiri’s mother, shows interest in the warrior “Dream-walker” (their term for the Avatars), and instructs her daughter to teach Jake their ways. Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang), leader of the security forces for RDA, promises Jake his “real legs” back in exchange for intelligence about the natives and what it will take for them to abandon Hometree, which rests above a large deposit of unobtanium……READ THE REST OF THE AVATAR STORY Click Here

‘Avatar’ is almost the best movie ever : Avatar Movie

“Avatar” is poised to become the highest grossing film of all time.

Earlier this week it broke the record for worldwide sales and soon it should take top marks for the U.S. market.And then, “Avatar” will replace “Titanic” as the best movie ever made.No, really. The film that makes the most money is also the best.

Why, how do you quantify the best movies? Do you use some pansy AFI list? Do you check the redness of a tomatometer, you commie?

Sorry, but if “Gone with the Wind” really wanted to win, it could have played on IMAX screens and charged a ticket in 1939. That’s how capitalism works.

It’s why every “Star Wars” geek will tell you “The Phantom Menace” is better than “The Empire Strikes Back.”

It’s why animation fans talk about the revolution spawned by “Shrek The Third” and why it’s so much better than that “Toy Story” junk. Or, much worse, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” … whatever that was.

It’s why action junkies vastly prefer “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” to the first two “Terminator” movies because giant robots beat puny, human-sized ones. Besides, Transformers can turn into cars and planes and stuff. Terminators only become governors.

Meanwhile, movie buffs will tell you “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” is a richer cinematic experience than “The Godfather,” “Home Alone 2” is a better Christmas movie than “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” is funnier than “Ghostbusters.”

But only million funnier. If “Ghostbusters” had just swapped Nia Vardalos for boring, old Bill Murray …
And the glories of capitalism don’t end with film.

It’s why Hootie and the Blowfish are more talented than Prince. It’s why Dan Brown kicks the crap out of Ernest Hemingway, in a literary sense. And it’s why “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” is a better-crafted drama than “Mad Men.”

Don’t believe me? Fine. Watch “Citizen Kane” and listen to your Leonard Cohen albums. Savor a rare vintage of Cabernet while dining at a locally owned restaurant.

But when you change your mind, you can find me chewing on a Big Mac and washing it down with Coke in a McDonald’s inside a Wal-Mart that anchors a strip mall. And we can go see “Avatar” together at a multiplex.

Paaaaart Two of my Avatar review! I didn’t hate this movie. I just didn’t really like it a lot. I think James Cameron is a great filmmaker and I’ve liked a lot of his movies, but this one was just a little too simplistic plot wise. It worked with Titanic for some reason, but this one not so much? Good times though…

Avatar DVD,Bru-Ray Review

By: the-movie-guy “movie and electonics buff”

Five months after “Avatar” received its initial big-screen release, we are presented with its first release to the home-video market. Much has been written about the double and triple-dipping. We know this is a bare-bones release, devoid of ANY extras, special features, deleted scenes, commentary, etc. We know the studio is releasing a more complete edition of the film on Blu-ray in November 2010, and a 3D version at some point in the future. We’ve all heard the complaints from those who think this stripped-down version is merely a cash grab. So now Earth Day has arrived, and “Avatar” has been released in this bare-bones edition. For those who, like me, love the movie, and want to have something on-hand to enjoy until the more thorough release arrives in the months to come, is this worth it?

In a word, yes.

This Blu-ray is the movie only, with some basic search/bookmarking features and subtitles. There is no commentary, no trailers, no previews, no annoying advertisements that play before the movie starts. It’s the movie only, much like the way DVDs presented films back in the early days of that format. You insert the disc (the disc loads and starts playing automatically in my Sony BDP-S570). There will be a moment or two of a blank screen as the disc loads. You’ll see a brief message informing you to update your player’s firmware if you experience any problems playing the disc. Then you’ll see a piracy warning (thankfully it’s brief), and then a basic Fox Home Video title screen. Now you come to a nicely animated menu screen, which gives you options to play the film, set up your options or search for a scene or bookmark.

The disc has an advanced feature which allows you to resume playback if you power your player off during the film playback. This option comes on automatically when you turn on the player again, even if you’ve removed the disc and reinserted it.

The video quality is astonishing, easily besting last month’s Toy Story and Toy Story 2 releases from Disney. You have a full 16×9 (1.78:1) picture, which is how I remember the film being presented in RealD and Dolby 3D Digital in theatres. Colors are crisp and bright. No visible artifacts.

Audio is superb, a quite robust mix that will engage fully your 7.1 system.

This is the finest-looking Blu-ray of the year, thus far, and the best way to enjoy the film until the next more complete edition is released in November. Is this stripped-down edition a cash grab? I don’t think so. I appreciate having a bare-bones release. It’s refreshing to have a disc that is the movie only. Who needs all the junk that we get on most Blu-ray discs? Yes a making-of documentary would be fun, but is there anyone who loves the movie who doesn’t already have some idea of the craft that went into making it?

This release is for people who love the movie, end of story. If you love the movie, you’ll appreciate having such a wonderful, flawless transfer to enjoy in high definition at home. If you don’t love the movie, you will find things to quibble about such as the lack of extras. I, for one, am happy with what we’ve got now.

Avatar DVD,Bru Ray – The best Picture and Audio available on any format.

By: M. Stifler “XBL: FBDMatt PSN: DuskUponT

Let me start off by saying that I am one of the people that saw Avatar multiple times in theaters and loved it. The CGI , as well as the 3D technology infused, were by far the best I have ever seen. James Cameron and all of the people who participated in the making of this movie did a tremendous job. Weta workshop is taking its place at the top of the mountain, as far as visual effects companies go. Watching this movie was like being transported to a different universe. I was completely immersed throughout the almost three hours I was in the theater.

As for the story and acting for the film, I am probably in the minority on most of these reviews. The story for me, while predictable and reminiscent of other movies I’d seen previously (What movie isn’t nowadays?), was extremely enjoyable. Watching this made me feel young again. It made me forget about all the worries that an adult life brings, and just enjoy myself in the moment. Many people argue that the acting in this movie was subpar. These people say that the portrayals of the characters were downright cartoonish. I would argue strongly against that. For the type of movie that this is, the good versus evil portrayals given by the actors works in the movie’s favor. Sam Worthington especially does well. If you haven’t seen him in Terminator: Salvation, do so. He made the movie worth watching.

Now, to get to the actual product at hand. I ordered the Blu Ray / DVD combo pack from Amazon. From the moment the menu came onto my screen, I knew this was going to be something special. When I pressed play, there was no turning back. Over the next three hours, my senses were completely assaulted and my mind was dumbstruck. Simply put, James Cameron’s Avatar on the Blu Ray format is the best picture and audio we have seen or heard to date. I have a feeling it will be years before anything better is brought to the table. Watching the visuals was more stimulating than looking at a real life forest. Every detail could be seen from far and away. The walls of my house shook, and I just hope the neighbors did hear. I would tell them to buy the movie themselves and experience it.

With this release comes certain issues. While I don’t have any of them myself, I will still talk about them as it would be uninformative of me to not. This release of Avatar is not in 3D. Many people complain about this, and a large percentage of those people do not even have the right equipment to properly experience 3D yet. The technology for home theater 3D is very new and very pricey. Next year, after all the quirks have been worked out, is when we will likely see Avatar in a home release 3D format. Another gripe is the complete lack of special features. This again has a good reason. In the Special Edition coming later this year, there will be scenes incorporated into the movie not even visually completed yet. Documentaries in high definition have to be put together. A commentary track needs to be recorded. No one is being forced to buy this “stripped” edition, however. I am one of the people who will knowingly double or triple dip on this. The reason for that is because I love it so much.

Now to the biggest complaint. During the initial release, many people were complaining that Avatar would not play in their Blu Ray players. The reason for that seems to be some new copy protection put on the disc. While I was not one of the people with this problem, I can certainly sympathize with those who did. A new firmware update is all it will take to fix the issue. My PS3, which serves as my Blu Ray player, had a firmware update ready for me before I watched the movie.

So if you are one of the millions who loved Avatar when you saw it in theaters, or one of the people who didn’t get around to seeing it, now is your time. Pick this movie up right away without hesitation. Keep an open mind, and let yourself become immersed. You do not want to miss what many people believe is one of the top movies of all time.

Avatar: The Last Air Bender, set to be released on July 2nd, 2010 is set to be based on the Avatar: The Last Airbender Emmy-winning animated television series. The series has also profited by selling action figures, trading card games, video games, stuffed animals, and lego sets as well. The series was produced by both Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Pictures. The series is set to be a trilogy but this is only the first in a set of three. It began production in March of 2009. The story is based on Asian mythology and art along with a variety of martial arts fighting styles. It was created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko but has been adapted by M. Night Shyamalan. He is working with Sam Mercer, Scott Aversano, Frank Marshall, and Kathleen Kennedy on the film to turn it from a television series into a movie and eventually it will come to your computer screen so that it can be one of the choices you have to watch movies online.

The story line is based on Aang who is an individual who would rather take on an adventure during the day instead of taking on his role as the Avatar. He is played by Noah Ringer. Katara and Sodda, Aang’s friends, travel with him to find the Waterbending master at the North Pole so that they may also learn the secrets to be found. While this is going on the current Fire Lord of the Fire Nation is fighting a war against the Water Tribes, Air Nomands, and the Earth Kingdom as well. Some of the other stars include Jackson Rathbone, Dev Patel, and Nicola Peltz.

The first trailer was released on June 24th, 2009 after the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen as well as June 22nd, 2009 on the ET network. It features Aang in a temple while it is being attacked by the fire nation ships. The theatrical trailer was released on March 25th, 2010 to set the scene for the big summer release.  The music for the film was composed by James Newton Howard. He has formerly been given recognition for working on The Dark Knight with Hans Zimmer as well and has also worked with Shyamalan on multiple occasions.

Casting has been given some criticism so far. Many people feel that Aang looks entirely too young and has too much of a baby face to accurately portray the character correctly. There has also been some confusion over Zuko’s scar not being as prominent as it should be along with lacking his hair style.

The trailer does not give much way to expectations for the film. Some may wonder if the movie will do justice for the original series. It is typical though that diehard fans will find fault somewhere because nothing can ever be adapted completely from one rendition to the other. All that can be done is to wait and see what the director will be able to produce if you decide to see it in theaters. If you would rather watch movies online you will be waiting a bit longer.  A trailer may give a glimpse into what can be expected but in no way can it show just what will be coming to the big screen when it hits on July 2nd, 2010.
