Monday Matinee - Avatar

Cameron is brilliant. Not many directors in Hollywood nowadays are able to assure producers that millions of dollars spent in their movies will assure an astonishing win at the box-office, he is one of them. Avatar, much like Terminator, Aliens and The Abyss is spectacular to watch, and this time with 3D screenings that spectacle is brought to a whole new level. This time the action takes place in the moon Pandora, where an ex-marine in a wheel-chair, Jake Sully, takes his dead twin's place in an experiment to create a diplomatic relation between humans and aliens in that planet. What ensues is a bit clichéd, something we had seen before in Dances with Wolves or Pocahontas, but this time in a more deeper level. Cameron is able to come up with a story that creates metaphors that successfully attacks racism, terrorism and ecological destruction, at the same time that it makes us remember the importance of nature. It will undoubtelly go down as one of the films of the decade.

10/10
