Though the theory of Quantum Physics on multiverse is debatable, the hypothesis of different realms flourishing in different dimensions in complete synergy with the laws of nature can’t be ignored. If believed, there is a strong probability that each one of us lives in polarity, co-existing in a parallel universe simultaneously.
This thought has been beautifully cultivated, nourished and brought to life by the sheer grandeur of a vision helmed by the quintessential director James Cameron, the man with the Midas touch. His ability to ascertain the fundamental belief (that is the crux of the movie) the one universal truth, the law of cause & effect (Karma) that governs everything that exists on earth is unparalleled. The belief in a mighty source from where everything that we can experience originates (The Seed Tree/ Ishvara) and the source that provides sustenance (Prakriti) and also at the opportune moment (Kala) annihilates.
Man’s greed to control, bask in material pursuits, need for power, intellect and dominance have been the bane of all destruction, misery and death. He fails to realize that at an atomic level, even he is controlled by the One – the originator. This magnum opus is highly influenced and wonderfully encapsulates some of the teachings of The Bhagavad Gita that is the pulse of the movie. There’s a thread of philosophy that connects all attributes of the script together. The narrative is magnificently portrayed in the form of unforgettable and mesmerizing visuals that strike an avalanche of emotions in the viewer. There’s a connection; an earthy element that calls for an immersive and hypnotic experience.
This sci-fi story begins with Jake Sully who’s married to Neytiri, and has children. He is the leader of a humanoid species indigenous to Pandora. The sky people return to colonize Pandora and wreak havoc by causing mass destruction. They have come to avenge Jake Sully and Neytiri. As a protector and a responsible leader who is accountable for the welfare of his community, he leaves the forest and moves with his family in search of a hospitable place far away from the sky people. The water clan who lives on the top of a beautiful reef welcomes his family and provides them shelter.
The underwater scenes are magical. Each scene flows rhythmically in to another like a poem enchanting, swirling the audience into a vivid spectacle. The prose is seamless like a translucent veil smooth and polished. Performances are endearing, the VFX spectacular and unmatched.
The only hitch is the duration of this movie, it is 3 hrs and 12 minutes long. In hindsight, once you finish watching the movie, the length of the movie is justified as the main protagonists need some time to acclimatize and assimilate the rules of the water world.
If you’re a fan of James Cameron’s craft, you definitely can’t miss this one! The movie has a lot of depth and will resonate with all, for it establishes the fundamental principle of love for humanity, nature and upholds the deepest regard for the sanctity of life. I loved this one!!!
