Performances: Surprisingly, there are no big names in Cameron’s cast, but the characters are all credible and attention-grabbing. Both Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana sculpt a warm love story as the blue-skinned human avtar and Na’vi woman. The film also marks the return of Sigourney Weaver in another tryst with aliens.
Music: James Horner composes a fine music score that has a fusion blend of both Oriental and the Occidental notes.
Cinematography: Pandora is a visual paradise, with each fern, each dandelion etched out in detail. Kudos to Mauro Fiore for this spledid tribute to Mother Nature.
Story: Cameron’s story is both timely and topical with a strong anti-war statement finely blended with the evergreen romance between a human and an alien.
Dialogue: Simple, straight, yet hard-hitting, some of the lines are laced with humour too.
Special Effects: Absolutely first rate.Avatar justifies its bloated budget of being billed as the most expensive Hollywood film at approximately$500 million.
