Avatar

Last week, my brother bought the movie Avatar. He was always telling me that it's the best movie of all the time and it's a crime that I didn't watched it yet. So, in one of my free time we watched it. Even thought the movie was 2 hours and half, it was really interesting to see similar points to Oryx and Crake written by Margaret Atwood. Avatar who is directed by James Cameron (who also did Titanic) tells the story of man called Jake Sully, a paraplegic former marine who is assisting with a group of people from The RDA Corporation mines the discover of a new world called Pandora. The RDA Corporation mines wants to destroy this paradice to build a valuable mine that will generate billions of dollars. To explore Pandora, humans can't go there, so scientists use avatar (blue creature) operated by genetically matched humans. Jake goes to Pandora as an avatar to explore this unknown world. After bonding with the nation, he realized that these people love their world and destroy it will be a mistake. Jake felt that betrayed them will be terrible because they take him as a member of their nation now. He battles with the RDA Corporation mines to protect the nation and he succeeded at the end.
In Oryx and Crake, Crake created a society by improving human's immortality, removing any sexual feelings, etc. He wanted to created an ideal community better than the world he was living in like James Cameron did with the movie Avatar. We see in the book that Jimmy takes care of the Crakers after the death of Oryx and Crake and he really protect them from all the craziness they were around. In the same kind of way, Jake did with the people of Pandora were attack by the RDA Corporation mines.
Overall, I really liked the movie. I never thought that I would've like the movie because it's a science-fiction movie. I guess my brother was right for his one.
