James cameron is a director of vision. Ever since he made movies, his movies were always about human's interaction with technology. He was an inspired film-maker who left his job as a truck driver about three decades ago after amazed by Star wars films. His overachiever attitude in the filming location drawn subtle hatred from his fellow crew and casts. Nevertheless, the result is always breathtaking. From terminator, aliens, true lies and of course the oscar-winning Titanic, jim never show a bit crack in unseriousness in making movies. He always push the envelope when it comes to leveraging groundbreaking technology in cinema. His latest narrative feature, Avatar is one of the most anticipated movie of the year. I just saw it and i thought it was magnificent though inherently not without flaw.
It chronicles human in a not-a-distant future living in a place called Pandora where human race try to claim the land from to the native Na'vi. Several human race were sent through a "projection" in a machine called Avatar in order to blur with the natives only to have them changing side due to symphaty and one of them falls for a beautiful na'vi woman The movie has recently pick up golden globes nomination for best picture and best director for Jim, and now it is considered to be a front runner for best picture and best director in oscar race next march. It is a rare achievement for a science fiction genre. Watching Avatar is like experiencing somthing new because nobody has ever leverage the technology Jim uses solely in the purpose of filming this film. He even stated that sharing this experience with other people is how the business will slowly show success. "When people have an experience that's very powerful in the movie theatre, they want to go share it. They want to grab their friend and bring them, so that they can enjoy it," Jim said. "They want to be the person to bring them the news that this is something worth having in their life. That's how Titanic worked".

Avatar is so luxurious in its picture. The gung-ho surrounding its implementation of technical aspects of the film especially the special effect and the groundbreaking stereographic projection to create a live felt motion picture is once again justified itself that he would never have to care too much about others' negative doubt. I admit that the story and plot itself is actually not too compelling but cameron was able to concoct a reality on the big screen that matters. This is the man who in a way has surpassed a lot of many master director in Hollywood like Stanley Kubrick, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg in creating a magical masterpiece that is not just another popcorn flick like Transformers which i hate.... so much due to its perpetual "pots banging" and the ineptitude of its director to create an extravagant masterpiece like Avatar.
