Color is the first thing in chapter 7, and if you have not seen the movie Avatar, then you have not seen color in a movie. This movie is filmed on the planet "Pandora" which is a planet with a different species and different environment in general. The colors in this movie are breath taking. From the legendary floating mountains of Pandora, to the crazy looking Eywa trees and different plants and glowing leaves, this movie is unlike anything you have ever seen. The Avatar people or the Navi, are blue, and have there own tribal ways similar to natives in our world. The colors are a huge factor in why this movie is great.
The sound in this movie is also great. The special effects and the tribal sounds that they have in the back round of the scenes is perfect. The music in this film is not like anything from a modern movie of this time because lets face it, having the Dixie Chicks play in the sound track of this movie just would not fit in at all. This movie is all Earth like or nature sounding tracks, that really make you feel apart of the movie. The special effects of all the animals and action scenes, especially the explosions towards the end of the film are terrific.
Sam Worthington plays a terrific X-marine who took the assignment because he had nothing left. He plays an outstanding character as he becomes part of the Navi people. Other people in this movie aren't exactly your big time huge actors but that makes the movie that much better because you see different people in this movie that you have seen before, but this movie has put them back on the map.
The dialogue of this movie is also something that makes this movie great. The way Jake Sully has to prove himself in the Navi tribe and become accepted by the people, but at the same time he has to be a human and learn about the ways of his new people from Norm and Grace, but in the Avatar world he is learning to become one of them and also finding his love in Neytiri. This back and forth adaptation makes this movie something different and fun to watch.
The director of this movie, James Cameron, already has a reputation of having a great film making career, and he did it agian in this film, it is an action movie, a thriller, and a love story all in one, from the time the fighting starts, and Jake turns sides, and to the end, when Jake re joins the Navi, and leads them to protect their home land. This director has again established himself as one of the best directos of his time
