I think one of the things special about this film was how realistic they allowed the battle to be. Like of course there's protagonist armor, but they do also kill a lot of natives and some of our side characters. Most other movies just overpower the main characters so much the audience never has to worry about them. It adds a lot of suspense and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
How realistic? The humans used modern warfare forces (made for long range battles) as if they were melée ones, literally throwing them all in the put as if their weapon couldn't fire from long distances. In real life, artillery from miles and miles away would have started and ended the job.
@@williampitt1537 That's true, but they do actually use their weapons for long range in the forest battle, and the natives were decimated in that sense. It was only until the armored Rhino animals come that they are able to beat the soldiers back. You also have to consider that they also kind of don't know what they're doing because the natives are really unknown to them. They underestimate the number of their forces and they underestimate how much damage the comparatively "primitive" people can do. Sure, they have their animals, but they only have bow and arrows for weapons. In my opinion, its as accurate as a fantasy/sci fi war can be
@@dharmoraxati Then who's the villain? Those who try to save their own planet from humans who destroyed their own planet (Earth) and it's ecosystem? Lol.. You need to watch the full movie
James Cameron did an impressive job for Avatar. The graphics, CGI-VXF designs, epic battle, best soundtrack and best cast. One of the best grossing films ever made. I’ll wait for the next sequel when it released in theaters.

I've watched this movie with my father when I was in elementary, now I am at college and this is still one of the best movie I've ever watched. The CGI, the message of the movie and the plot.
The love of an alien and a disabled soldier at the beginning of the film seems like an unwise joke, but in the film, like life, there is a place for a miracle ... and turning into a handsome alien broke more than one girl's heart. Here's a clip about it th-cam.com/video/f8UJRFOg_pM/w-d-xo.html
The message is pretty racist though. It perpetuates the myth of the "noble savage" and promotes white guilt that can only be resolved by betraying your own kind for the sake of aliens that will naturally not only accept you but then make you their messiah. This is toxic, unhealthy, and unrealistic. Western culture is not so horrible as they portray it, and the Navi are clearly meant to represent Native Americans, many of which had tribes that were far more barbaric and warlike than the West. After all there were cannibal tribes, those that practiced ritual torture for their amusement, genocidal tribes, and those like the Aztek that took brutality and human ritual sacrifice to an industrial scale.
@@WorldofTanksVideo If you don't dig for messages, in the situation shown in the movie Navi is on the right side, and it doesn't offend anyone because it's fiction. Moral is just don't be greedy and don't destroy nature for your profit.
Same goes for a lot of movies that are much older than this one. I think the spider man trilogy still looks great (with a few exceptions). This movie pushed the tech, at the time, to its limits
That fight between Jake and the mech was really good. Jake knew he couldn't withstand a full blown strike from the mech, but could parry and use his superior agility and mobility to dodge each swing and strike at the vulnerable points. Really good fight choreography here.
@@fluffells8361 He did take the literal full force of an armored on the blade he was holding. There was no "parrying" for most of those strikes, just straight up blocking. Try blocking an industrial crane with a fire hydrant for how well that should have gone for Jake.
I remember hearing a theory about Avatar, that although Grace's conciousness never managed to be transferred into her avatar body, it transferred into the Pandoran neural network as a whole, so in a sense she merged with Eywa, and that's why the Pandoran wildlife joined the battle.
The most iconic part in this battle is when the animals charge in the nick of time. I always tear up when Neytiri says “Eywa has heard you” twice because it’s so touching to see animals come to the alien’s rescue. This movie is a masterpiece, one of the best science fiction movies ever!
@@frshappiness4955 Iconic: defined as something or someone that is considered symbolic of something else, like spirituality, virtue, or evil and corruption.

Haters of this have literally never watched Pocahontas or furn gully or dances with wolves. They just bandwagoners. The sequel was astonishing a masterpiece of cinema.
The purest and simplest example of James Cameron's craftsmanship ever put on film. That's why it's so easy for people to trash Avatar. Its art - Cameron's art at its purest. People would rather be pandered to than sit back and appreciate art

@@vasqu3z_7 not really? It held the highest grossing film for like a decade. It was only surpassed by a movie that had over a dozen other movies in its franchise. This was a standalone film. This movie was ahead of its time.
The battle makes no sense the characters are boring at best and there are probably more things wrong with this movie. The only good thing about this movie is the animation
How is it ahead of its time? I always thought its message was irrelevant and outdated for the time, but that's just my opinion. Though, if you are talking about the animation, I would agree with you there.
@@On_the_House-33 The message as same as how white american and white australian slaughtering all of native to colonize them and claim the land into them

Another reason why Jake doesn't want to start another war against SkyPeople, he doesn't want to endanger all people in clan, like this war. That's why he ran away along with his family, but then realized after his first son died, running doesn't solve anything. They'll keep coming, whether you like it or not.
It's still, *still* the best CGI ever put on screen. And it's from 2009. For any and all of the movie's narrative shortcomings, its visuals were never overhyped.
@@definitelynotabot1743 I genuinely think the worst frames of AVATAR stand up to (and in some cases surpass) the best something a rushed modern blockbuster like SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME has to offer. And I don’t even love AVATAR as a film. But I rewatch it about once every year and a half expecting to deflate a little on its VFX and I always just walk away more impressed 🤷🏻♂️
Even though this film was overtaken by Endgame, it's still far more impressive since Endgame had a massive buildup with the MCU and Avatar was just 1 movie with practically no build up compared to Endgame.
This movie contains environment fantasy which is every thing that you see are 3d CGI. Every object and facial expression, actions are so smooth, very detailed and realistic CGI ever made. This film is unbeatable and timeless.
Due to a China rerelease in 2021 that took in another 57 million, Avatar is now the highest grossing movie of all time! The king is back to his rightful spot!
@@Nobodyss21 They bought 57 million dollars worth of tickets in China so they can reclaim the number one spot? This does not make sense for a few reasons. 1) endgame only had a 7 million dollar lead. To buy 57 million dollars worth of ticket, most of which will go to the theater owners is quite stupid. 2) if they want to rerelease endgame to beat that record, they will have to buy an additional 50 million and give a lot of it to theaters unnecessarily. 3) very few people in the world actually care about this. It does not make sense to throw 50 million like that. Better to spend it on actually advertising of Avatar 2. 4) as much as you might not like Avatar, people in China actually love it as it resembles political situations in China. So a rerelease will sell tickets. 5) Avatar 2’s budget is 250 million. So 50 million is a lot to them. They are not going to throw money like that on a stupid record. 6) 50 million can do a lot in terms of advertising for future movies. Much better than this record can do.

Not only is this an amazing film, probably the true masterpiece of 2000’s Sci Fi, this coming from a Lucas era Star Wars fan, who thinks Revenge of the Sith was excellent… but it’s also the basis of easily the two best Franchise rides at Disney World in my opinion. Na’vi River Journey is so immersive and amazing. And Flight of Passage is the most thrilling non roller coaster there is.
@@deathsinger1192 excluding Star Wars (1977) and The Empire Strikes Back (both of which are superior to Avatar and are masterpieces on a whole other level, especially the latter), I think this is better than any Star Wars movie
The only movie I almost watched 15_20times since my childhood . Even though there are many other good movies from marvel,DC and others. Avatar always have a special place in my mind...Such a masterpiece 🥶

I went and saw this movie when I was a teenager when it came out, and to this day it is still the greatest cinema moment I have ever witnessed when the animals come out of the forest to fight alongside them.
One of the things I enjoy about this film is the semi realism of the vehicles and equipment used by the humans, sure we probably wouldn’t be able to build these, but they aren’t to “over the top” with the sci fi theme. No ridiculous rocket engine placement, no blue holographic displays everywhere, no laser weapons and the machines show size and scale, and even if they don’t, it can be excused by the environment
I think avatar is in the 22nd century So its not really that far into the future Makes sense that dont see warp drives on every ship or energy weapons ...
Isn't he the good guy, he's sacrificing his retirement to go save his dying planet, and so what he kills a couple alien savages? It's the entire future of earth that rests on his shoulders.

Humanity should have won especially those dreadnoughts! (I know they are not but i call them that because they resemble the dreadnoughts of imperium of man in Warhammer 40k)
The humans are mostly here for survival , right ? Doesnt seem like they have evil intentions ... Besides , the na'vi are not very smart If a race that powerful needs ur resources , It whould be probly be better to just let them take whatever they need Fighting back is useless , they'l bring in more and more power , bows and arrows wont do much against 22st century war machines , especially nuclear weapons ...
My sister, her Husband, their 9 year old kid and I already have tickets and seats reserved to see the New Avatar movie coming out in just 13 days... Can't fucking wait! =D
Btw yall, the second one is due to air in December next year, and the others two years after that each i think. The reason its taken so long is the fact that Cameron wants to properly plan the storyline so that all 4 (or 5) were masterpieces, and interlinked well!
@@ThaRedPitbull I imagine it’ll be awesome but I don’t think any movie trilogy/series will come close to LOTR. That was just a masterpiece. MCU is an exception.
The video game made from this movie was pretty awesome growing up. You really got to experience first hand how terrifying those mechs were when both piloting one and going up against one.
@@Assassino275 Definitely agree with this. I went through the Navi campaign only once just to see what the ending was. By far, the Human Campaign was better imo.
People say that the navi should've lost. But they fail to realize that they DID. But that doesn't mean the humans won either. By the end, it was only Jake and the Colonel dude left. Most of the navi were DECIMATED and massacred. It was only plot armor (and I don't mean that in a rude or disappointed way) appeared and then nature decided to fight back. In the end, it was nature that won the battle.
That's what I keep saying. The Navi never won the battle, let alone the war. It was their goddess that saved them, not their strategy or their fighting grit.
@@alekso8254 the humans could have easily defeated if they brought just 1 ship with orbital bombardment capability, after all the humans didn't want to inhabit the planet, they just wanted the ubtanium and I'm sure it would be less difficult for them to get it out of a lifeless rock than a planet where everything wants to kill you.
This is one of the best final battle sequences of the last years,the build up behind it is brilliant,and the montage where we saw the two forces preparing thereselves to combat makes expectatives about how the outcome will be.

The purest and simplest example of James Cameron's craftsmanship ever put on film. That's why it's so easy for people to trash Avatar. Its art - Cameron's art at its purest. People would rather be pandered to than sit back and appreciate art
Commentary so underrated
You did not just suggest this movie is too artistic for the average movie-goer
@@jeff3221 Its art with the purest and simplest and most rewarding story. Just like Kubrick did with 2001, every shot has so much art ie attention to detail, people have no idea. If you can appreciate Avatar for its artistic merits, you too have no idea

The battle makes no sense the characters are boring at best and there are probably more things wrong with this movie. The only good thing about this movie is the animation
How is it ahead of its time? I always thought its message was irrelevant and outdated for the time, but that's just my opinion. Though, if you are talking about the animation, I would agree with you there.

Pathetic
Another reason why Jake doesn't want to start another war against SkyPeople, he doesn't want to endanger all people in clan, like this war. That's why he ran away along with his family, but then realized after his first son died, running doesn't solve anything. They'll keep coming, whether you like it or not.

El comentario más random que he visto en este video. Enserio pon spoiler alert porque si no el hate que te va a caer.
He wanted to protect his people so he and his family ran away and endanger a bunch of strangers instead.
It's still, *still* the best CGI ever put on screen. And it's from 2009. For any and all of the movie's narrative shortcomings, its visuals were never overhyped.
You're entitled to your own opinion, but the best CGI ever? Seriously? Some of it looks like a video game.
@@definitelynotabot1743 I genuinely think the worst frames of AVATAR stand up to (and in some cases surpass) the best something a rushed modern blockbuster like SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME has to offer. And I don’t even love AVATAR as a film. But I rewatch it about once every year and a half expecting to deflate a little on its VFX and I always just walk away more impressed 🤷🏻♂️

It took us 2 decades to get sequels(including Way of Water).
The most euphoric scene I ever watched when Eywa summons the creatures to fight back!

Easy to do that when u got a high caliber automatic weapon.
And that AMP user at 6:21 smashing that thing down lmao

Even though this film was overtaken by Endgame, it's still far more impressive since Endgame had a massive buildup with the MCU and Avatar was just 1 movie with practically no build up compared to Endgame.
Avatar is once again number 1 highest grossing movie of all time though
@@iflostpleasereturn6135 And it will 4ever be the highest grossing movie. 💙
This is Avatar's Box Office
Even though I think this is overrated as a film, I still agree. That's exceptionally impressive
There's no words to describe how beautiful this movie is
This movie contains environment fantasy which is every thing that you see are 3d CGI. Every object and facial expression, actions are so smooth, very detailed and realistic CGI ever made. This film is unbeatable and timeless.
Due to a China rerelease in 2021 that took in another 57 million,
Avatar is now the highest grossing movie of all time!
The king is back to his rightful spot!
They need to keep re releasing til it hits $3 billion.
Disney cheating again like usual
@@Nobodyss21 cheating at what? You mean they are lying about the numbers?
@@m3mario They brought their own ticket just like captain marvel movie does. And they rerelease endgame for week or more
@@Nobodyss21 They bought 57 million dollars worth of tickets in China so they can reclaim the number one spot? This does not make sense for a few reasons.
1) endgame only had a 7 million dollar lead. To buy 57 million dollars worth of ticket, most of which will go to the theater owners is quite stupid.
2) if they want to rerelease endgame to beat that record, they will have to buy an additional 50 million and give a lot of it to theaters unnecessarily.
3) very few people in the world actually care about this. It does not make sense to throw 50 million like that. Better to spend it on actually advertising of Avatar 2.
4) as much as you might not like Avatar, people in China actually love it as it resembles political situations in China. So a rerelease will sell tickets.
5) Avatar 2’s budget is 250 million. So 50 million is a lot to them. They are not going to throw money like that on a stupid record.
6) 50 million can do a lot in terms of advertising for future movies. Much better than this record can do.
Wow, it's been almost 11 years since this film was released, and we still don't have the sequels Cameron promised.
@Lee's moviezone Keep in mind that he was working on Avatar since the 90s, but has to wait until the tech is more advanced. Same could go for the sequels.
They are! They had already confirmed to be no more delays regardless of pandemic!

Not only is this an amazing film, probably the true masterpiece of 2000’s Sci Fi, this coming from a Lucas era Star Wars fan, who thinks Revenge of the Sith was excellent… but it’s also the basis of easily the two best Franchise rides at Disney World in my opinion. Na’vi River Journey is so immersive and amazing. And Flight of Passage is the most thrilling non roller coaster there is.
Revenge of Sith was Excellent? Really? It Still IS.
RotS is my favourite Film, but I love Avatar too
@@deathsinger1192 excluding Star Wars (1977) and The Empire Strikes Back (both of which are superior to Avatar and are masterpieces on a whole other level, especially the latter), I think this is better than any Star Wars movie

Oh god don't remind me of that crap
we call those marvel moments, and they are in every fucking movie now. I really hope there arent any in avatar 2.
They're super hero movies, based on comic books with far worse dialogue due to them being made in the late 70s early 80s. Pretty weak to compare sci fi action to super hero movies
@@kylesmith7448 Compare IronMan 1 which is serious to Age of Ultron or guardians of the galaxy which are freakin comedies in the amount of jokes characters throw
@@chaosdimension6433 If you think Iron Man 1 is serious then lol there's no conversation to be had, it's about a billionaire who creates an armored suit and literally lives for the quick one liners and jokes mid fight
Such a masterpiece of a movie!
Lets be honest,the first movie was definitely better than the second movie
I went and saw this movie when I was a teenager when it came out, and to this day it is still the greatest cinema moment I have ever witnessed when the animals come out of the forest to fight alongside them.
8:36 most epic scene
When he lands OOF
Has gotta be 4:32
Stand by for titanfall
5:10 for me
Idk why but i just like it lol
One of the things I enjoy about this film is the semi realism of the vehicles and equipment used by the humans, sure we probably wouldn’t be able to build these, but they aren’t to “over the top” with the sci fi theme. No ridiculous rocket engine placement, no blue holographic displays everywhere, no laser weapons and the machines show size and scale, and even if they don’t, it can be excused by the environment
realistic practicality over bad assery cause realistic practicality is bad ass.
I think avatar is in the 22nd century
So its not really that far into the future
Makes sense that dont see warp drives on every ship or energy weapons ...
This still the best movie for me. Can’t wait for the Avatar 2
The classic movie of the century
It's up there. The ending always gives me chills. Love it!
Stephen Langs character was so bad ass that i was rooting for him until I remembered he was the bad guy.
Isn't he the good guy, he's sacrificing his retirement to go save his dying planet, and so what he kills a couple alien savages? It's the entire future of earth that rests on his shoulders.

Humans absolutely kicked ass in this setting, no ifs nor buts about it. Go humans!
Humanity should have won especially those dreadnoughts! (I know they are not but i call them that because they resemble the dreadnoughts of imperium of man in Warhammer 40k)
The only movie where the bad guys win
The humans are mostly here for survival , right ?
Doesnt seem like they have evil intentions ...
Besides , the na'vi are not very smart
If a race that powerful needs ur resources , It whould be probly be better to just let them take whatever they need
Fighting back is useless , they'l bring in more and more power , bows and arrows wont do much against 22st century war machines , especially nuclear weapons ...
Any movie that has a modern army face off a technological inferior force and always the modern army are the good guys
My sister, her Husband, their 9 year old kid and I already have tickets and seats reserved to see the New Avatar movie coming out in just 13 days... Can't fucking wait! =D

An absolute Sci-fi masterpiece for James Cameron!
James Cameron should have directed the last three Star Wars movies.
They probably would have been a lot better since he actually knows what he is doing
And he pushes the movie technology to it’s absolute MAX
Btw yall, the second one is due to air in December next year, and the others two years after that each i think. The reason its taken so long is the fact that Cameron wants to properly plan the storyline so that all 4 (or 5) were masterpieces, and interlinked well!
It's going to be epic like those Lord of the Rings movies.

Truly a magnificent movie.
So stoked for Avatar 2!
People say that the navi should've lost. But they fail to realize that they DID. But that doesn't mean the humans won either. By the end, it was only Jake and the Colonel dude left. Most of the navi were DECIMATED and massacred. It was only plot armor (and I don't mean that in a rude or disappointed way) appeared and then nature decided to fight back. In the end, it was nature that won the battle.
Gg
That's what I keep saying. The Navi never won the battle, let alone the war. It was their goddess that saved them, not their strategy or their fighting grit.
You can't beat nature you just gotta roll with it animals were here first we're just along for the ride
Human will never surrender, i can see they will won in avatar 2.
@@alekso8254 the humans could have easily defeated if they brought just 1 ship with orbital bombardment capability, after all the humans didn't want to inhabit the planet, they just wanted the ubtanium and I'm sure it would be less difficult for them to get it out of a lifeless rock than a planet where everything wants to kill you.
