In our previous class you had the chance to post a comment on the fascination of humans about mythical creatures. This fascination has been taken to the extreme in the film industry. Imaginary and eccentric characters are stars in many Hollywood films. The recently released film Avatar is a good example.
A paraplegic ex-marine war veteran is sent to establish a human settlement on the distant planet of Pandora, only to find himself battling humankind alongside the planet's indigenous Na'vi race in this ambitious digital 3-D sci-fi epic from Academy Award-winning Titanic director James Cameron. The film, which marks Cameron's first dramatic feature since 1997's Titanic, will be shot on digital 3-D cameras and will offer a groundbreaking mix of live-action dramatic performances and computer-generated effects. Australian actor Sam Worthington stars as the reluctant human settler, Jake Sully, with actress Zoe Saldana signing on to portray the local woman who enters into a romantic affair with the hero. The revolutionary motion-capture system created for the film allows the facial expressions of actors to be captured as a virtual camera system enables them to see what their computer-generated counterparts will be seeing in the film.
Can you explain why these kind of movies have so many fans? What makes them so special or appealing to movie-goers? Are you personally a fan of science-fiction movies? Explain by giving examples.
