Film 1: Avatar, 2009; director: James Cameron

Avatar tells the story of a bitter and discouraged former Marine named Jake. Jake always thought that since he was sadly in a wheelchair that there was nothing else to live for. But when Jake is recruited to join an expedition to Pandora he is ecstatic. On his journey he meets a lot of wonderful “Na’vi”. During his journey Jake learns a lot of great values and remembers what it feels like to love life (Film Jabber).

Avatar is mainly influential because of its amazing use of modern world technology. The visual effects were pushed to the limits for this big Blockbuster movie. Director James Cameron’s passion for visual effect and his crazy tendency to be the first on the new technology was highlighted in the movie that cause a revolution in the movie industry (visual effect pioneer).
Avatar was ready to be filmed in 1999 but James Cameron wasted satisfied with technology that was given in that time period so he waited for new technology to immerge and also tried inventing some of his own (Visual effect pioneer). With the viewing of this movie a new pair of 3D glasses were launched that made the experience of watching avatar in theater even better (Daily Mail).

Film 2: Inception, 2010; director: Christopher Nolan.

Dom Cobb, a skilled thief is the absolute best at finding out darkest secrets, deep within the brain, and when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Due to his ability to basically know each skeleton that people have in their closets. This has made him the best espionage in the business. Dom is called with his team to not steal and idea but to plant an idea in someone’s head (IMDB).

Inception is known for it’s most memorable scene of a chic modern hotel that defies the laws of gravity. In this scene we see the hallways shifting. As they bounce off of walls, it looks like a martial arts scene in zero gravity room (Blogs wsj). To build this memorable scene the production team constructed a 110-foot hotel

    For this assignment, the movie I decided to watch was called ‘Avatar’. This movie is about humans, or “sky people”, travelling to the planet Pandora to conduct studies over the natives that live on the planet, and to gain resources that the planet provides. The natives on Pandora are called the Na’vi, and they are blue creatures who are much different than humans. One of the humans that travelled to Pandora to study the Na’vi is named Jake Sully.

He came to be in the program where he takes the body of an avatar, so that he can learn more about the people on the planet.

    Avatar Technology Analysis

    In the beginning, Jake appears to be totally disconnected and alienated from the natural environment. He can't relax because he is afraid of it and views it as something dangerous that needs to be tamed by humans. When he starts living with the Na'vi and is taught their ways, he has difficulty assimilating. As Neytiri points out in their first encounter, Jake's alienation from nature makes him "ignorant like a child" (Avatar) and unable to appreciate and live in the natural environment. However, he slowly changes and finally becomes part of nature's network. The change starts from the outside and slowly moves to the inside. He first changes on the surface, that is a change of the body, but soon Jake feels an internal confusion. He is not sure in which world he belongs and who he really is. He admits that he can barely remember his old life and that the Na'vi's world seems more authentic. He finally realizes the energy that exists in nature and learns to appreciate every living organism. He admits that he has fallen in love with the forest and with the Na'vi's way of living. He even reaches to the point of fighting against humans to protect Pandora's natural environment and the Na'vi's way of life. Jake is transformed from a contemporary individual…

    Through the use of Aliens and Medical Experimentation, it is clear for one to see that Avatar is a more evolved Sci-Fi genre film than that of District 9. Although the aliens in District 9 do not have the typical green skinned, antenna, bug eyed aliens like shown in most alien based films, they do however share the same thought that aliens physically do not represent human forms and have ugly exteriors, thus making mankind feel good about themselves, whilst watching the film. The extreme close up of the prawns face during the news feed in the beginning of the film, is used to emphasis the prawn’s appearance so as to highlight that they are ugly creatures, thus automatically making them ‘bad’. The weight of the aliens; introduces the idea that they are not as evolved as humans, as one could questions how a species of great numbers, can still be controlled by a species of a lot smaller numbers.…

    There were a number of advanced visual effects techniques that were used in the production of Avatar. The work on the film had been delayed since the 1990s to allow the techniques to reach the necessary degree of advancement to adequately portray his vision of the film. The director planned to make use of photorealistic computer-generated characters; created using new motion-capture animation technologies he had been developing so they look magnificent. Somthing nobody has ever seen before. Cameron had made it so that his gorgeous world and landscapes were magnificently magical; that blew up in your mind of so much creativity and…

    At the heart of the film industry is a man who has revolutionized movies for generations to come. Since the release of The Terminator in 1984, James Cameron has been one of only a handful of writers and directors who is consistently certain to bring profit and success to Hollywood. According to Stephen McVeigh and Matthew Wilhelm Kapell, James Cameron “shares the rarefied heights of such A-list directors as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, directors who work in similar generic and commercial landscapes of the action-fantasy blockbuster.” Although of a later generation than Spielberg and Lucas, his movies reveal many similar aspects of cinema and he has, in countless ways, taken many of these facets to a new level (McVeigh and Kapell, 2011).…

    The most prevalent theme in the film is globalization. This connection between AVATAR and anthropology can be found from the very beginning. The humans in the movie leave earth and travel to Pandora to mine the planet just as the pilgrims and other settlers left Europe to go to the Americas in search of new homes and other matter. Humans bring to Pandora their traditions and values and to them the natives are different and demure. In our somewhat similar history; globalization led European ideals, and later US ideals, to be imposed on the native cultures with little regard for the local people and their customs. You see this in Avatar with the humans trying to force their will on the Na'vi and how they don't care about the existence of a real Mother Nature, the power of their magical forest, and how what they are doing is going to destroy the Na’vi…

From then to the present it has changed step by step by the features like length, color, sound, animation quality and by so many other attributes.
