Avatar

Avatar takes us to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on an epic adventure, ultimately fighting to save the alien world he has learned to call home.  We enter the alien world through the eyes of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a former Marine confined to a wheelchair.  But despite his broken body, Jake is still a warrior at heart.  He is recruited to travel light years to the human outpost on Pandora, where corporations are mining a rare mineral that is the key to solving Earth’s energy crisis.  Because the atmosphere of Pandora is toxic, they have created the Avatar Program, in which human “drivers” have their consciousness linked to an Avatar, a remotely-controlled biological body that can survive in the lethal air.  These Avatar’s are genetically engineered hybrids of human DNA mixed with DNA from the natives of Pandora… the Na’vi.

Okay, two reviews for this film. Please go directly to Adult review if you are over 15.

Under 15?

Man this film is soo cool, like totally awesome and that. It is full of big explosions and mad-trix and that. The story line is rad to the power of sick and and there is massive explosions and that, and wow see it before you see anything or you will be laughed at.

Over 15? then read this.

G.I. Joe is the new spiderman, but missing the vital interesting plot, cool twists and excitement. Annoying this is the first of what appears to be many G.I.Joe films, something tells me that the iconic toy is looking for a new lease of life and they spent the advertising budget in this overly CGI filled drivel.

So are there any good bits? Yes, have you seen them before you go to the theatres? Yes. Of course every film have some of the highlights in the adverts and trailers a few months before it comes out, but GIJ has them all in there. The very cool chase whilst getting shot at for example is really one of the only highlights.

The film could have been in fact a new Transformers, or dare I say it Indiana Jones in the cool franchise stakes (mainly as the last one was such a let down). But it is the story which is just too choppy. It must have been developed by the son of the writer while playing with his G I Joe action man, it just constantly drags on. In an amazing way they manage to explain everything so well that you see the plot twist sometimes before a character has actually spoken. This all leads to the fact they made about 8 endings, and decided that DVD extras are so last year, so stitched them all together.

If your going with kids they will love it. You may want to sneak out when the lights go out and go bowling for 2 hours.

Oh, how I look forward to the 8 sequels, happy meal tie ins, new cartoon, and theme park ride. In fact the best bit was the 2 minute commercial for the toys before the start.
