Avatar movie & toys preview
This is upcoming epic movie is called Avatar. It is scheduled for release on 18th December 2009. I saw the trailers to this movie in the cinema recently and also noticed that its toyline is already selling at many online stores.
The main story storyline of Avatar is about a group of humans invading a moon planet called Pandora to extract some precious resource that fetches loads of money on earth. But Pandora is inhabited by a race of blue-skinned natives (aka the Na’vis) who live exactly where the resources are located. Like how in real life where humans have exterminated the natural wildlife and habitats on earth to extract mineral resources, the humans in the Avatar movie plan to do the same to the Na’vis. And so the battle begins for both sides…

The interesting part about the Avatar toyline is that it has some imaginary humanoid beings and creatures. I won’t know if the Avatar movie and merchandise will turn out to be successful at the box office and retail sales. Only time will tell. The above 6-legged horse-like creature reminds you of the 8-legged steed of the Norse God Odin, doesn’t it? Except mainly this one has lesser legs.

Somehow the blue-skinned Na’vis and the other creatures of Pandora remind me of some parts of the Star Wars movies, where you can also find such similar characters. The humans with their high tech weaponary in Avatar, kinda resemble the side of the Republic or Empire in Star Wars. I think that the ending of the movie will be open ended to leave room for potential future sequels. And it doesn’t look like there will be a straight forward ending to the plot either.
If I can, I’ll catch this movie at the cinemas next month when it’s screening. I’d expect to see the Avatar movie toyline in the departmental stores anytime. I’ve not visited the shopping malls for the past several weeks, so I can’t confirm if the Avatar movie toys have been released here yet. Do drop me a note here if you do see them selling at our local stores!

Hi I just watched Evangelion 2.0. This show was good.
Remember to stay after the credit scroll to view EVA 3.0 trailer.

After some time, every science fiction machine and creature look similar in some way or another
