Avatar, The Movie (2009)

Today me and my family went to see "Avatar". Over all, I think that the movie was really exciting and adventurous. There were also parts that were very sad.

An exciting part was when Jake was fighting with the Colonel with the three scratches on the side of his face. It was the end of the final battle between the humans and the Na'vi. The Colonel is an aggressive and very courageous man. His hair is almost all white and he has three scratch marks on the side of his head. his personality is audacious and bold. It seemed that his main goal in life was to have power. He even sent out a spy to get special intel on the "enemy", just like the way that George Washington used his spies in the Revolutionary War. The only thing that the "enemies", the Na' vi, really cared about was the existence of they're own species and nature. See below for more description. So what happened in the last battle? This battle was between the leaders of the worlds. The leader of the Na'vi world was Jake Sully, who betrayed humankind for the Na'vi. The Colonel used his armor suit which is this huge robotic armor that has the capability to do exactly what the person inside was doing, from shooting a gun, to jumping in the air. It could do it all. All that Jake had was... his hands. So the fight started out between Neytiri and the Colonel. She attacked with one of the native animals. She was able to weaken the armor a bit. But they were not strong enough. Just as she was about to get killed Jake attacked. He used whatever he could find. Which was the chain gun that the Colonel had used with his armor. Jake used it to break off the blade of the armor knife. While fighting with Jake, the Colonel broke the windows of the trailer that Jake and Grace were using for the body transformation. So here the Avatar body was in danger of being killed because the real body was in danger of losing oxygen. Eventually, the real body couldn't get enough oxygen, but was already breathing hard from the battle. Then he had to come out of the chamber to the oxygen mask. He couldn't. Meanwhile, since Avatar Jake fainted Neytiri had to finish the battle from which she struggle for she was injured. Finally she was able to get the arrows through his chest. Because Jake and Neytiri had already mated, it was hard for her to let it go. So she went into the trailer and found the real Jake unconscious. She got him the mask and after several deep breathes, he was able to regain consciousness.

Another really cool part was when Jake was choosing his banshee. The banshee that chose him, would be the one that wanted to kill him. And I laughed at that part. It was amusing to see how aggressive he was thriving to get this banshee under control. A funny thing was when he had his first flight how when he got mad and screamed "Shut Up And Fly Straight!!!!", the banshee did that exactly.

A really sad part was when the HomeTree was being destroyed by the Colonel. I think that there is a lot of truth in this story about the government and their desire to own more stuff. This is a population of living creatures with feelings and very strong emotions for nature that they are trying to conquer and kill. The people had physical bonds with nature and were very connected to living beings.

This was one of the best movie's I've seen, that's got truth, action and excitement.
