Avatar by James Cameron

Avatar was just simply mind-blowing piece of art. Despite the too many glow-in-the-dark bits and pieces, it was just surreal yet believable, wild yet tender, and it surely left many to the imagination.

I'm in awe of the tag line. 'Believe it, or not'. Totally cheesy, totally eye-catchy, totally awesome.

I vote Avatar for best movie indeed! Also vote for Neytiri for best alien actress (make that category available please)

Well, Mr Cameron... I see you (or should I say Oel Ngati Kameie?)


Fun Facts:

  • The Na'vi language was created by Paul Frommer, a professor at The Marshall School of Business with a doctorate in Linguistic
  • The language has a vocabulary of about 1000 words, with some 30 having been invented by Cameron

  1. I like neither na'vi nor klingon as the future global language. Especially when you have to dress up for it :D

    We also need a future international language. One which is easy to learn, as well !

    And that's not English! Esperanto? Certainly yes!

    Have a look at http://www.lernu.net
