Avatar is a blockbuster film from 2009 and one of my most favorite Sci-fi films of all time. The film was directed by James Cameron, who is known for directing films like Titanic (1997), Aliens (1986), and the Terminator (1984), all of which helped shape the film industry into what it is today. Although at the time, there was a recession and people were trying to save money, this movie became the highest grossing film in at the time. The movie provided stunning 3D technology unlike any other movie

Media Analysis: AVATAR It all began in the year of 2154 when a crippled ex-marine named Jake Sully “saved the world”.

Jake is introduced to an Avatar body which is the combination of ½ human body and ½ alien body basically controlled by the scientists who created it. After watching Avatar, for the first time, I realized that this film had different worldviews mixed together. Somewhat confusing to me

Avatar Archetypes “I guess that’s the thing about a hero’s journey. You might not start out as a hero, and you might not even come back that way. But you change, which is the same as everything changing. The journey changes you, whether or not you know it, and whether or not you want it to,” (Kami Garcia). The movie Avatar, released in 2009 and directed by James Cameron, is an example of a main plot and a subplot carried by the hero’s journey and has many examples of other archetypes. Avatar is about

Movies create realities. As life tells the stories of each, each moulds the reality which he/she believes in. Movies are like these stories of life, but recorded within the bandwidth of camera to capture a perspective. Also, movies are applied to reality, are the reflection of the world, or are the doorsteps of escaping reality – fantasy. As of what James Cameron’s Avatar, this movie reflected the three statements above this sentence. Avatar is a critical acclaimed hit when it released, spanning

Thick layers of grey smoke floods the once empty street of Tolleson, Arizona. About 20 eyes are pressing onto me as if they were a group of 1000. This feeling scares me, but somehow deep down, it pleases me. I feel as if some sort of key information has been wiped from my memory. As more and more of the smoke clears, my memory is coming back further and further. These memories haunt me. They won't reveal what they are. Only the emotions from these memories leak out. Hiding beneath the smoke is a

“Has the rest of the Onu finally finished their preparations?” Mr. Lestrange asked. The purple alien responded in its uncanny, foreign tongue as Mr. Begay and Lestrange nodded in understanding. “Yes, yes, the contraption is done on my end,” Mr. Begay responded. “I had just finished when I saw the lights — you would not believe how relieved I was to see you had arrived. I am anticipating returning home after sustaining myself on this ugly planet for so long.” Argos took a step back in shock. Unfortunately

Created by Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino, Avatar: The Last Airbender is an American television series that aired for three seasons on Nickelodeon from 2005 to 2008. Set in an Asiatic-world, ATLA is an interesting combination of anime and American cartoons.

The Other Ones Page 1 The invasion was slow. At first there were just a few, no more than seven. The government had kept it all quiet of course. Nobody blames them, not that there are many to blame them anyhow. It was all they could do not to cause panic, they were likely just as afraid as the rest of us. These monsters, these invaders from another world. There were rumors for decades, everyone wrote them off

Avatar tells a story about how the human race will go through great lengths to satisfy their constant need for money and power. The film’s theme of greed is very fitting to today’s world as it relates to the majority of us humans’ nature of always wanting to gain things for ourselves without observing what the consequences will be for others and their future. This theme is shown in the film by how the humans, who’ve invaded the fictional planet Pandora, are willing to sabotage an entire village just
