The Overview of the Movie

Avatar is a 2009 American science fiction film written and directed by James Cameron. The year is 2154 in the film, and at the beginning of the movie humans are mining a precious mineral called unobtanium on Pandora (The plant the Na'Vi live on). The expansion and taking of this mineral is killing the local Na'Vi tribe. The Na'Vi look a lot like humans except they are BLUE with tales. Now you may wonder where the name Avatar comes in. Avatar is a genetically engineered version of the Na'Vi which a human can put their well minds in their consciousness if you will say(crazy but what do you expect its a movie). Don't think that anyone can put their mind into an Avatar nope that is not how it works. The Avatar must be breed for you specifically. It needs your genes to accept you or it will not work properly. So later in the movie an army man is needed to be an Avatar the humans are trying to convince the natives to move. They are one with their surrounding and refuse to leave they lack modern weaponry so they are at a disadvantage. The soldier boy loves the village to much though.... OK I will not ruin the ending and or the movie for you so go watch it.

I have a question to ask though does this story not sound familiar? Yes....
Is this movie another Pocahontas? Maybe
Has this story been done before? Kind of
Was the movie worth its HYPE & did it live up to expectation(my Opinion)? NO......

Pocahontas was about native who were being forced out of their homeland because of the British. They are basically forcing Pocahontas and her family out of their land. The Captain John Smith befriends Pocahontas who does not want to marry another man who was picked by her father. The story goes on by having Pocahontas fall in love with John. Eventually a fight breaks out between the natives and the British and John ends up getting shot trying to stop it and save Pocahontas. The war stops momentarily and they patch things up with the natives.

Darn foreigners always stealing peoples land. Whether it is alien or human it seems like mankind always wants more.

Avatar storyline has been done before. I can accept that the movie is unique in its own way. I personally like the movie think it is good and well thought out, but I also liked Pocahontas and other Native losing land story it’s something that won't get old.

I am not saying don't watch Avatar I am merely asking was it really as good as you thought or maybe it’s because the media TOLD you it was amazing. They told the public it was amazing and had a message. I will admit that when I feel left out sometimes I give into the Bandwagon theme of the media. Everyone loved Avatar you must go see it that it all they said. Another thing was telling people it had a deep and sophisticated message the people who did not want to seem stupid always say "how could you not like Avatar it had a message." Really a message that is it, but not only a message it has blue people. I personally believe Avatar was not worth the hype it was a good movie and people have a right to see it I just don't believe that everyone should cling to it and say it was the best movie ever because it was unique(no it wasn't), different(ehh kind of),and never done before(LIAR). This is where I tell people that even though Avatar does activate the Triune Brain it is not that amazing. It has action, explosions, and half naked Alien women can anyone say Reptilian brain. Then there is soft romantic music, fascinating imagery and great graphics this is where the limbic brain pops in. Last the neocortex words meaningful lyrics a fast pace movie gathering information and thinking. The director and all the people involved in making the movie did a magnificent job at making a thrilling movie, but I just want people to think is this movie REALLY ALL THAT UNIQUE. Ignore the blue people and Alien birds think hard Natives using the environment to protect themselves from foreigners.

I am just asking people to step back and ask your self is this movie another Pocahontas and why did I jump on the bandwagon, why do I love Avatar, why is it the best movie so far. Look at the similarities in Pocahontas and wonder why didn't you get the same message from Pocahontas. A native women falls for a man takes to her village he loves their pure ways. He tries to save the village and the people. The female wild angry and unpredictable while the male is a military man good with strategy and easy on the eyes(LOL). One person said " I want to be them - the blue people. They are just perfect in every way." Why because they are one with their environment or because you think they do not persecuted one another. In the movie the Na'Vi are exactly like humans except they are more in tune with nature. Some people are one with the environment even though not like the Na'Vi people can basically do everything they did. They have emotions, drama, family problems, marriage, and tradition. The Na'Vi just sleep outside and hunt i just don't see why anyone would want to be them(but that is my opinion).
