CLASH OF THE TITANS

SAM WORTHINGTON has made a massive impact on hollywood in 2009/2010, with three big blockbusters all in a row! terminator salvation acting alongside of christian bale (batman). Avatar as the lead role of jake sully (a movie that has broken all box office records thanks to visionary and genius james cameron). Clash of the Titans, a remake of the 1981's version. Directed by louis leterrier (unleashed/ danny the dog, transporter 2, the incredible hulk).

The movie follows the trials and tribulations of demi God called perseus (sam worthington), who is the son of the almighty God Zeus(liam neeson), father of all humans on earth. Hades, god of the underwold has a plan to overthrow his brother Zeus and take the seat of power in the heavens, he does this by unleashing the kracken! a monster so evil and powerful it defeated the TITANS, the fathers of Zeus, Hades and Poisedon. Hades creation is released upon a city of humans that have cursed the gods, a series of events and fate draw perseus with a few warriors where their quest takes them across dangerous paths and into the pits of medusa's lare!

The movie has lots of action and the only place it lets the audience down is th graphics, although they are top notch the massive scale of the movie perhaps used too much graphics. Everything else was pretty good though. Superb visualisation and scenery of an early earth where it was Man vs. Gods!

Clash of the Titans rated: 3/5

AVATAR

james cameron has done it again!

director, writer and producer of titanic, terminator, terminator 2, and aliens.

and now Avatar.

duration: 2 hrs 55mins
acting cast: sam worthington (terminator salvation, bootmen, and hart's war)
zoe saldana (the terminal, star trek)
sigourney weaver (alien, aliens, vantage point, holes, ghost busters, galaxy quest)
giovanni ribisi (gone in 60 seconds, sky captain and the world of tomorrow,

the story of avatar: jake sully, an ex marine (paraplegic) is shipped off to a remote and hostile planet called pandora. on this planet are an indigenous race called the Na'vi, who are twice the height of a human with blue skin. these religious and warrior type humanoids are being driven out of their home by the humans, as a precious metal is only located on pandora.

jake sully is initiated into the avatar program where his genes are fused with the genes of the na'vi to create an entirely new being that can be remotely controlled by the human through mental thought and expensive mindlink machines/ capsules. the purpose of the avatar program is to socialise with the local people (the omatica'ya people) and make bonds of friendship and offer them medicine, food, etc. however, through a string of unforseen events jake is seperated with his research crew and left in the jungle of pandora to fight for himself. this is when he meets neytiri (the daughter of the chief of the omatica'ya people). she saves him from certain death and brings him into her home to meet her family.

neytiri teaches jake the ways of the omatica'ya, how to shoot a bow and arrow, to hunt, and speak the language of the na'vi. after three months jake becomes one of the people, he becomes a man and falls in love with neytiri, the forrest and the people. but when the miners reach a sacred spot jake is enraged and retaliates against his own people.

his general locks him up and cuts off all his avatar work so that jake cant warn the omatica'ya people of the impending doom. the humans are going to destroy home tree.

this act creates a rift between jake and neytiri, so he breaks out of prison and finds an isolated spot to access his avatar and protect the na'vi from the human siege.

this is probably a lame depiction of the plot. but i dont care.

i love this movie.
i officially claim this movie as my number one of all time!

because of the story, the original characters, the amazing landscape and creatures and the amazing graphics. it is an epic movie of infinite proportions...i literally dont think a movie will match avatar for years to come. not for its detail or shear amazingness...

avatar rated: 6/5

"i see you"
