Essay On The Movie Avatar

I watched the film Avatar directed by James Cameron. The main actors in the movie are Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver.

Jake joins the science and wing of the operation as a substitute navigator for his deceased twin brother’s Avatar.

Avatar is an example of how one person can make a difference. Also the movie shows how a group effort can make a huge difference. People need to wake up and realise it is up to us to save the environment!

The movie Avatar looks like a movie about war, but rather it is a movie about being human and what it means to be a human. And the message the in this movie I feel is to be in touch with your environment and world.
