The alien plant life in the movie is copied from the sea critters we have in our tanks…the one plant looks exactly like a feather duster and closes up the same way too. To be honest the ocean is full of such alien creatures, so it was a good call to use them in the movie.

My favorite part has got to be when Jake wakes up in his avatar body. Putting myself in his shoes... a paraplegic... never being able to walk again, then waking up to feel your legs, walk, run, feeling the sand between your toes. Knowing how emotional thinking about what that must be like makes me, I can imagine how people with disabilities must feel.
Personally I find the move awe inspiring. The discipline that Cameron has, in this and all his movies. So much of movies now is so cheap... just for profit... but the backstory behind the movie such as how he waited about 10 years to make it just so technology could develop to where his vision could be realized, plus the way Cameron is unrelenting in his pursuit of perfection... even when a movie made this way is not perfect, you have to respect the discipline.

Avatar: 8 out 10. So... so... mixed. On the one hand, the movie is an absolute marvel, stunning scenery, environments that have never before been so in-depth. Then you have some things that just slap you in the face. The plot might have cut it for an original Disney movie. You literally could tell the story of the entire movie from first 15 minutes. I dunno, just maybe a little disappointed from Cameron. I mean we all know the tale of what happened on the Titanic, but he was able to bring something completely fresh for that movie. I think maybe he was just too involved building sets and up-scaling the imagery, the plot felt a little left behind.
Not that this is a bad thing, but there was some more violence then I expected. When Neytiri (the blue girl) and Jake killed those dogs/wolfs at the beginning, and then when the Colonel in the AMP Suit goes to town on the tiger/lion thing Neytiri was riding near the end.
All in all, I was still very impressed with the movie. Anyone who is contemplating seeing still definitely should. It definitely would still be worth it to see it on the big screen with the theater speakers turned up. I just wished there wasn't this taste in my mouth like I just had seen a Disney film...
