Um dos melhores filmes de ficção que eu já vi; O mundo, personagens, história, tudo é perfeito. Além do mais, revolucionou a indústria do cinema como conhecemos em questão de CGI.

Сценарий, идея Джеймс Кэмерон

По моему в него не очень тогда верили, но оно того стоило. Ибо просто все очень красиво выглядит, а это мы еще не коснулись других аспектов.
Касательно идее, не сказал бы что прям идея нова, нет - здесь освоение нового мира по аналогии с колонизацией америки с космо тематикой, магия тут заключается в другом.
Мир - дорого, правдоподобно, интересно.
Сюжет - на наших глазах происходит становления героя, но я бы посмотрел, как по мне .... Но так бы не получилось бы кино, так что "герой". Освободитель народа нави.
ГГ не один персонаж данной истории, так же есть как другие люди, так нави.
Люди в свою очередь делятся на 2 типа, милитаристы и сочувствующие (их меньшинство)
Результат конечно предсказуем, но в этом что то есть.
Ну и нави, самое интересное что есть эпизод, где они опускают руки, и только Джейк, воодушевляет их, мда.... Ведь можно было избежать кровопролития..
Финальная битва где по данным 2.5к нави против хм хм 100-200 морпехов еле еле, ну и конечно же дуэль, мммм
Вообщем концовка, не подкачала.… Expand

Every character is one-dimensional and stereotypical. The businessmen are bad and the military are idiots who want to kill everything. The lines the characters speak is eye-rolling and predictable. There are lines of exposition all over the place rather than using subtly and have the scenes explain the story. The plot is paper-thin; throughout the film it is hard not to know what is going to happen next because the writing to so unordinary. This film is very preachy and is one of those movies that is supposed to make you feel bad and guilty for being human.

I have seen a lot worse films as I've experienced phase four Marvel and Disney Star Wars; this is no where as bad. This movie is watchable, but the plot, story, and characters are trope, predictable, stereotypical. I would recommend skipping this film but know it is not the worst movie in the world, just very, very average and a bit boring.… Expand

And I watched it only now and missed little. It's definitely not the best film of Cameron's career. In my personal opinion, he will not even get into the TOP 5. Avatar refers to those films that need to be watched only in the cinema and only in IMAX. This is the only way to get true pleasure from it. But even after 14 years, the film looks amazing in terms of CGI quality level. It's really amazing. Yes, now it is perceived as a given, but in 2009 it was shaking. The story itself is clearly relegated to the background. Avatar is like Crysis in the video industry. Beautiful and technological, but boring and empty in essence.… Expand

The story, though, is what I had anticipated would follow next. Without a doubt, it was a fantastic narrative. But after watching the teaser, you already knew how everything would turn out since it was so simple. Additionally, I found the stereotype of the army guy to be too strong.… Expand

For one, the sequel is coming soon. But also, this movie gets a weird amount of hate. The criticism is that the writing and dialogue is bad and that the movie is a rip off of Pocahontas and other films like it. I would argue that themes are recycled throughout Hollywood all the time, and Avatar does it in a very unique way that adds substance and depth to the story. What made Avatar so great was obviously the action, the visuals, the art design and the special effects. And you can call the plot a rip off all you want, but I thought it was awesome. I think anytime you use metaphors for real world problems, some people get mad and offended. That being said, I do think this film has weaknesses. I do agree some of the dialogue is mediocre. Also, I don't think Sam Worthington did a very good job as Jake Sully. But overall its one my favorite films, and I can't wait for the sequel. The haters can keep hating.… Expand

Whether one is a fan of 3D or not, James Cameron has done something incredible and changed cinema forever. I may not be a big fan of 3D, but I love it and it gives such Marvel movies a tasty extra juice in my opinion. I can thank Cameron for that. Thank you. Unfortunately, the main movie that is supposed to be the best thing about 3D I didn't get to see in the theater. That's when Avatar somehow passed me by. I didn't get to it until years later. I have to say I'm sorry I didn't see it in the cinema, but even at home on a proper TV with good speakers it was a real blast. It's a wonderful show. Really beautiful. Beautiful scenery with amazing creatures and especially the Avatars themselves look phenomenal. The story is great, but what we think doesn't play a major role here. It's the environment that plays the main role, along with the effects and phenomenal action. I also have to praise the wonderful soundtrack, which underlined the whole splendor. With this film, the better the facility where you watch the film, the better the experience. Avatar is a MUST-SEE for me and a great film that I recommend.… Expand

It is the case were I had given a 10/10 after watching. Over the years however I question myself if it was really that good except the phenomenal 3D effects (It is still the poster-child for 3D cinema). Strangely this is a common response nowIt is the case were I had given a 10/10 after watching. Over the years however I question myself if it was really that good except the phenomenal 3D effects (It is still the poster-child for 3D cinema). Strangely this is a common response now or lets say others had the same thoughts. For those who don't believe this. Have you heard Avatar being named in the best movie lists in recent years (not to be confused with most successful)? For itself it is James Camerons most successful movie and also the highest grossing film of all times (Switched with Avengers Endgame after re-releases). It has phenomenal 3D effects and is one of a few movies I absolutely recommend watching in a 3D cinema. The other special effects / computer animations were amazing too. They put a lot of effort in creating a world that feels genuine and believable. We never doubted the setting, worldbuilding or scenery. Alone for this I recommend to watch it. Lets go to the story: It is set in the year 2154. Earths resources are nearly depleted and humanity will face a dire energy crisis that will destroy civilization if nothing is done. On the moon Pandora in another solar system exists an element named Unobtanium (pun?) that can solve humanities energy problems. However there are problems as the atmosphere is poisonous to humans and it is inhabited by dangerous animal and intelligent but not technical advanced blue humanoid aliens called Na’vi. Mining the resources is devastating to the environment. It is the story of Jake Sully a former marine who will replace his deceased brother on a mission to Pandora. The mission will change and challenge him more than he can ever imagine. I am heavily avoiding spoilers here even why it is called Avatar. The story is excellent and engaging. However it uses familiar themes and tropes. It has themes from Princess Mononoke, Pocahontas, Daces with Wolves and the Emerald Forest to name those I knew. Because it is immersive and engaging this is not a weakness. It takes familiar themes, tropes and stereotypes and mixes them into a strong movie experience. There is also a lot of philosophical and moral themes to discus (We had a lot of good discussion back then). This movie is of cause also carried by the actors. We have Sam Worthington as Jake Sully and he does an amazing job He sells the emotions and inner conflicts well and shines with a great performance. This is equally true for Zoe Saldana. She made an awesome performance and is a highlight of the movie. The rest of the cast is strong too. We have Stephen Lang as Colonel Miles Quaritch who is a deep character with understandable motives and flaws. Sigourney Weaver as Dr. Grace Augustine is the hidden gem of the movie. She made an amazing performance and deserves full credits. I also praise Michelle Rodriguez as Trudy Chacon and Lez Alonso for their performance. Every actor delivers and I see no missteps. I already mentioned the special effects and visuals. I can only repeat how amazing it looked. The world is fully believable and everything looks amazing (Wildlife, fauna and landscapes). The perfect 3D cinema poster-child. They put a lot of care and thought into it I I praise the whole team. The soundtrack by James Horner rounds up the experience. The rest was movie history as Avatar broke all box office records. It is well liked by critics and fans but will not be named as best movie of all times. Overall I am back to my beginning statement. It is a 10/10 movie when I watched it first. Later I had my doubts and think in the 8-9/10 range. However because of the worldbuilding and good memories I will go with a 10/10 and would recommend it for everyone as it has a place in movie history.… Expand

The protagonist is a plank of wood with no charm or charisma. The villains are cartoonish, and the other characters are pretty one dimensional. The Navii are very manipulatively deliberately designed to deceive the audience into liking them. Doubt people would've cared if they looked like the Aliens from District 9.
But my biggest complaint is that the story is unoriginal and unimaginative. It takes elements from Dances with Wolves, Pocahontas and FernGully without doing anything new or putting a different take on it. It's just a generic story we've seen many times before with a big high budget flashy paint job put over it.… Expand

Maybe it is just all of the subpar Netflix movies I have been watching recently, but “Avatar” has aged exceptionally well in the 11 years since its release. The battle sequence actually has emotional resonance. I have seen so much war in Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Marvel movies, but I never cared about any of them. Cameron got me invested in a way none of the others could. If you can enjoy a roller coaster movie, you should love this one, especially if you have a solid theater system. If you can find a way to watch this as it was intended, in 3D, by all means do it, but even in old fashioned 2D, it was amazing.
I don't know what percentage of the Neytiri character is Zoe Saldana vs. the animators, but somebody deserves an award for that role. There is a deep passion expressed by her that is very rarely captured on film. I give it an A, make a point to go see this movie.… Expand

It has more "world-building" into it. Story is good, I really have not much bad to say. It is a weird movie but looking back it was ahead of it's time and now can be understood easier. When it came out, it was overrated. But... people still talk about it today, so there must be a reason, reasons!
It was the best looking CGI movie when it came out.
Sure, movie has tons of problems that I would say are "cringy", but have you seen the documentary about it? The impact of this movie still can be seen today. I actually don't remember any movie like this, this is completely original movie, without "MCU-like" setups or part of already set "universe" like James Bond for example. This was the most expensive movie ever made and most successful movie of all time (until Endgame).
And it did not even have that expensive cast like, Endgame.
It has enough interesting things inside than any blockbuster movie.
This is cyberpunk, fantasy, Jurrasic-park-ish and space movie at the same time. Dialogue is good, not boring, pacing is great, not boring.
The characters are really well made. This is one of the few movies that deserve the word: EPIC… Expand

The film was a success, as we all know, and I find it surprisingI confess that this film never really caught my eye until I read about it. I still remember when it was in theaters more than ten years ago. More recently, I decided to see it. The film was a success, as we all know, and I find it surprising that I didn't have the right to any sequels.

The script takes place in a distant future, when humans have ruined the Earth but are colonizing and exploring other planets like Pandora, where Jake Sully, a veteran of the Marines, is going after being recruited by a scientific program. Pandora has a rare and valuable ore that humans want, but it also allows the planet to have an exuberant and unusual biological life. It happens to be inhabited by natives called Naavi (who look like huge blue humans with a long tail), and they are determined to protect their world from the greed of the Terran's. Sully joins the Avatar Program, which allows him to remotely control the body of a Naavi. If the program allows humans to live and learn from them (as its director, scientist Dr. Grace, wants), it also turns them into Trojan horses (as Colonel Miles, commander of the military forces in Pandora, wishes). This will put Sully in a conflict of loyalties while allowing him to see how the natives are connected to their world and are inseparable from it.

The plot raises a number of pertinent questions. We can, for example, reflect on the way we have lived and managed our planet, on the superiority with which we see who is different from us, on how we despise the environment or deliberately harm it by greed, on our passion for war instead of peaceful conflict resolution or even about how technological and medical advances do not reach everyone and are put at the service of some wealthy people instead of being available to all. It is a script that makes you think and could be seen in many ways. Unfortunately, the story built on these premises is not so good. There is good material and the way Sully is divided in his loyalty as he lives with the natives is the backbone of the whole thing, but everything else is quite predictable and one-dimensional, and sometimes it sounds bad: humans are treated in a simplistic way and turned into despicable creatures, while the Naavi are idealized to the fullest. The old story of "good guys and bad guys".

Sam Worthington shows all his talent in a demanding and likeable character. He plays well with Zoe Saldaña, his alien romantic couple. The actress is excellent and was having a good time in her career then. I also liked the work of Sigourney Weaver, in the role of a strong, bossy and grumpy scientist, who is guided by her ideals even if it means facing the military. But the best of the cast ends here. The rest are reduced to one-dimensional and stupid characters, as is the case with Stephen Lang (the "brute like the stones" colonel who only thinks about his mission), Michelle Rodríguez (the military hot girl who decides to collaborate with the "goodies" instead of helping the "baddies"), Giovanni Ribisi (one of the" baddies"), Joel David Moore (one of the" goodies"), Laz Alonso, CCH Pounder, Wes Studi (the "perfect ones") etc. This was somewhat disappointing in a film with so many qualities and such a high budget.

It is in the technical aspects that this film excels. Directed by James Cameron, an avid fan of the green screen and a "rival" of Spielberg, it's a film that was built on top of an entire digital world. Thanks to this feature, Cameron can become a god for a minute and create a new universe with plants and animals that we have never seen and that exude beauty. The film has a spectacular cinematography and it does not pass five minutes without, in some way, making us hold our breath before such a show of color and light. Sound effects are very well-used also. Together with an epic and magnificent soundtrack by James Horner, we have the recipe for a blockbuster film that collected three Oscars in technical categories (Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects and Best Art Direction), with all the fairness and merit. I really feel sorry that I didn't see it on the big screen and that Cameron is so careless when it comes to the script and the story he tells us.… Expand

Avatar - Breathtakingly Beautiful
When movies are created, they are done so with intent. Different genres of film target specific audiences, a formula which has sustained Hollywood and it's industries since the beginning of the blockbusterAvatar - Breathtakingly Beautiful
When movies are created, they are done so with intent. Different genres of film target specific audiences, a formula which has sustained Hollywood and it's industries since the beginning of the blockbuster movies. When a movie is created in a manner that sets in motion any given goal, said films success is pendant on whether or not that goal is reached. If a comedy creates laughter, or if a romance produces tears, then they are successes in their own right. So when a massively ambitious, seemingly impossible to create film aiming to usher in a new era manages to grab hold of it's audience and take them on an unprecedented cinematic roller coaster ride that delivers the goods every turn of the way, it can be considered successful. Avatar is that success.

A work in progress that spanned a decade and a half, Avatar is more than just a film - it's an experience, an event. When James Cameron set out to make this movie back in the mid 90's, he realized that his ambitions were simply too far ahead of their time. His ideas could not be reached in a feasible manner, and due to this, he had to wait. Or create. Once informed that the image he held for this film was one that was out of grasp, he began working on the technology that would bring his masterpiece within reach. Fifteen years and nearly half a billion dollars later, James Cameron has brought that vision to the screen, and has done so in an extravagant and showstopping way.

Avatar tells the tale of a war between species, each fighting for the ultimate survival of their race. Desperate to find the fuel for their dying planet, human soldiers and scientists set out from earth and set course for Pandora. A planet connected by all living things, Pandora is home to an indigenous species known as the Na'vi, as well as the precious element Unobtanium needed to save earth. Using transference technology, paralyzed marine Jake Sully is volunteered for the "Avatar Program", which enables the thoughts and mind of a human to be placed within the shell of a tube-born Na'vi body. Using this as technique to their advantage, Jake is sent into the harsh Jungles of Pandora in order to bond with the natives, thus gaining knowledge and insight on their ways. Having originally planned to use this knowledge as a means of negotiating the natives relocation, so that the humans can access the deposit of Unobtainium - which just happens to sit below their most worshiped and valued pseudo-deity of their planet.

While the plot on paper may read as a standard shoot'em-up action sci-fi flick, it is a near inconceivable task to truly explain how incorrect this appearance truly is. This takes a stroke from every movie, and a dab from every genre, and manages to create a portrait of beauty, in which all pre-existing notion of what cinema can and cannot do is destroyed. Within the lengthy hundred and sixty some odd minutes of film, moviegoers will find that there is always something to keep them enthralled, a merciful gift when considering how tedious many of the longer film of recent memory can become.

No matter what can be said about the overtly cheesy script,a criticism that, while holding true, manages to fit charmingly into the over-the-top nature of the film, Avatar does as it set out to do, bringing moviegoers a cinematic experience rather than a film. Relying on the technology that he created, Cameron pours his heart into this movie, and it shows in every scene. Ranging from the absurdly detailed creatures to all-too-realistic planet, this flick manages to tell a fulfilling story while all the while throwing jaw-dropping scenery at the audience, giving them only enough time to recover before bombarding them with yet another breathtaking shot.

Be it the fantastical and charming love story told between the native and the outsider, or the too-real-to-be-true action scenes between gunships and foreign ferals, Avatar is what Star Wars was too the 70's, the Wizard Of Oz of the 40's - a masterpiece that will go down in movie history as a game changer of it's time.… Expand

A trama funciona bem, com personagens bons, outros nem tanto. A subversão do guerreiro que não simpatizava com o protagonista foi ótima, visto que observávamos tudo aos olhos do Jake. Porém, quem chama atenção mesmo é a Zoë Saldaña, que dá vida a personagem numa performance única.

A cinematografia é belíssima, e explora muito bem o mundo gerado por CGI. As cores, os planos abertos, as cenas de ação... tudo isso entra em consonância com a OST. E que OST meus amigos. Dá alma a obra e acrescenta na atmosfera de uma maneira maestral.

It's a story that really pulled me in and got me feeling for these characters. The entire cast was great. The relationship between Jake Sully and Neytiri felt real. She teaches him how to do everything really. Their relationship is the heart and soul of this film. I was really rooting for them and wanted them to succeed. It's also great sci-fi. This is something I could actually see happening in the future. Also if you can watch it in 3D. It's honestly not fair to rate this movie if you don't... It' absolutely stunning to look at.

I watched ''Avatar'' first time when it released in cinemas in 2009 and yesterday I watched it again, actually I found a lot of deference, at first time I just found it as a normal movie (TV movie) with some visual effect, but now when II watched ''Avatar'' first time when it released in cinemas in 2009 and yesterday I watched it again, actually I found a lot of deference, at first time I just found it as a normal movie (TV movie) with some visual effect, but now when I watched it again I found it purely a masterpiece.

I saw some negative reviews and most of them wrote ''same cliché'', really guys?! What do you want more than that?! Every part in the movie is perfect starting from plot to visual effects until the performance.

If I want to talk about visual effects I couldn't stop, the designers of ''moon Pandora'' they couldn't design better than this, it seems so realistic and breathtaking, beside Pandora's animals, plants, trees and people, everything perfect.

I like the plot also, it's showing how the humans are savages, unlike others aliens movies that show the aliens are the enemy and the humans are innocents, the story is really reflecting our lives, we already ruined our earth by wars, killing animals and cutting trees, and it will be same if we control another planet.

''Avatar'' is one of the greatest movie in the history of cinema, and I would like to thank the genius director and writer ''James Cameron'' and the whole cast for this masterpiece, and I hope "Avatar 2, 3 & 4'' will be as same as this.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Avatar captures all realms of the human indulgence. It is the perfect form of hero story as well as having a positive message about saving the environment. The movie is extremely creative and imagined. We are presented with a new language called the Na'vi, a new goddess named Eywa who is presumed one with nature, and new fundamental lifeforms that engulf your imagination. The idea of the human controlled Avatars is something unprecedented. It makes the movie fun and at the same time plausible because the world of Pandora is so substantial and inhumane, that mankind is forced to create organic bodies that can not only survive but explore the land efficiently. The Avatars are controlled by people with similar DNA from a tranced state that allows them to connect into the body. The plot of the movie is also one that is imaginable yet realistic. In the year 2154, U.S. armed forces embark on a journey to an earth-like planet called Pandora. On Pandora there is an element called Unobtainium that is extremely valuable. When humans discover that there is a substantial amount of Unobtainium under a large tree called "Home Tree", where the natives live action needs to be taken. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) gets lost on a botanist mission and ends up at Home Tree, and the only reason he wasn't killed is because Eywa showed the natives a "sign" not to kill him. Since Jake is able to join and train as a native, the humans want him to convince the natives to leave their tree, in able to attain the unobtainium. Jake learns in conclusion that there is nothing the natives want and refuse to move from their home, therefore humans take force and destroy their home. The Na'vi are not advanced people, they live among nature and are smart with which creatures they interact with. Because Jake learns the importance of being a Na'vi he begins to choose sides and understands what is morally right. Dilemmas arise due to the natives not trusting Jake for his betrayal-like actions, and humans don't because he refuses to help the humans fight the natives. What will turn out for Jake and where will the Na'vi people go? This movie is an action packed thriller with imaginative fun and fight distributed throughout the film. We are introduced to many creatures including the Ikran (a huge flying bird-like creature), and the pa'li (a large horse-like creature). These animals play a significant role in the movie's structure by adding awe inspiring moments and serenity. The film never feels long and concludes with the ultimate warfare that has a special element that comes as a true surprise… Expand

Great visual, but the story and characters are weak. This would have been better if this like Pincess Monanoka, that there's no good guys or bad guys, it's just complicated issues.

Avatar has great visuals but in total the movie has an awful story and the CGI can only give the movie so much. Avatar is overrated and is a mixed bag leaning negatively.

My favorite movie of all time. I think it's almost the perfect action movie for everyone.

Pandora as a universe is immersive, believable and fascinating; so much creativity and attention to detail was put into the creatures, the plants and everything surrounding it. It completely drew me into the movie experience and made me forget about the mediocre and uncreative story. It didn't matter, because all the emotion was conveyed through visuals, and that worked incredibly well.

Avatar is one of the most entertaining pieces of cinema I have ever seen and every time I watch it, it is a joy to look at - even in 2018.… Expand

Cameron hit on special effects but other than that, unoriginal in story and slightly boring. Too much CGI for my liking. Very well done effects but the story falls short of new and/or exciting.

It blows me away. That what I call perfect made movie! Not very deep plot, but very deep atmosphere and intersting world with its creatures.

This move gets a solid six solely for the cgi and the soundtrack. Like most of James Cameron's movies, you aren't seeing it for the plot, the writing, or the characters.

Like most of James Cameron's movies, you aren't seeing it for the plot, the writing, or the characters. You're watching it for the thrills (Alien) or the action (Terminator, Rambo) and finally the cgi (Avatar), not for well thought out story lines, which Cameron has never once been successful at. The aliens we're supposed to sympathize with come off as arrogant and inhuman, while the "evil jarhead" stereotype we're supposed to hate is the most likable and fleshed out character in the movie, that provides what little comedy relief there is in the movie. The main character is a traitor to his own species, and yet Cameron expects us to sympathize with him, and he hamfistedly attempts to force us to by having him be a 'mercenary' for a cookie cutter evil corporation that are on the planet to mine 'unobtanium.' No, I'm not joking, that's actually what it's called. Supposedly earth is an overpopulated hell hole, but we're led to believe that the one mineral that can keep it functioning is being mined solely by an incompetent corporation? Let's be serious, if it was actually that important to humanity's survival the only realistic ending would have been an earth spaceship glassing the planet from orbit and mining crews landing on the barren surface to continue their work.

That being said, the CGI was and is quite frankly absolutely amazing. I saw it three times in the theater (once at a normal theater, again in 3d, once at the local imax), and don't regret it.… Expand

Absolutely dire. The effects are not particularly that special, even for 2009 (though it does look pretty) and the story is a horribly executed retreat of a million other films that moves along at a snails pace.
