AVATAR = A perfect combination of Technology and Art

Last night, I and four friends of mine went to watch AVATAR that I'd heard too much about. All who watched the movie were quite happy to spend their time and money for. I am sure that I have never heard so much compliment about any other movie.

AVATAR is a science fiction epic movie written and directed by James Cameron, a Canadian Ontario was born in Ontario, the current province I am staying right now. The film is based on an even in the year 2154 on Pandora, a moon in the Alpha Centauri star system. Humans are engaged in mining Pandora's reserves of a precious mineral, called unobtanium. There is a race of indigenous humanoids, called the Na'vi, that resist the colonists' expansion, which threatens the continued existence of the Na'vi and the Pandora ecosystem. Humans have developed genetically engineered Na'vi bodies of four characters to interact with the Na'vi.

The movie is a really good one with all kind of features. We watched the movie in IMAX 3D. I really liked the landscapes. There were some scenes of very beautiful landscapes. The creatures in the movie were another strong point of the film, very interesting and diverse creatures. Really awesome. The technology used by the humans were also fascinating and looked very real. I am sure we will have most of the technology shown in the movie in 100 years.

However, at the end an old question came up to my mind. Technology has helped people in many cases. It has provided very different facilities. It is so easy to count lots of cases which technology has improved quality of life for people. However, some people believe that technology and science finally destroy all the humans. There are currently some signs and reasons which support their opinion. For instance, in the movie there were lots of war equipments that could easily kill thousands of people at a time. Already the nuclear bombs can kill millions of people in a second. will it occur sometime? I wish even a single person was not killed by war equipments. I wish all the companies manufacturing the equipments like guns got bankrupted soon because of no demand for their products. However, I don't think it is possible.
