Avatar - James Cameron. If you haven’t heard of this mega hit, I am sorry to be the one to inform you. That of course means you haven’t seen it, and what a tremendous joy it is to watch this movie. The landscapes, the flora and fauna are absolutely gorgeous. I don’t want to give too much away so all I am going to say is that it is a story of defeat, triumph, friendship and love. It has it all.
Here are the mistakes and some of the things that might seem like mistakes that I found.
I was curious about why the human Avatars had five fingers when the Na’vi Avatars have only four. I know this is not a mistake but it just seems to me that this might have been mentioned in the movie itself. They do say that the human Avatar is mixed with human DNA so maybe that could be the reason. I have yet to find any other human characteristics.
When Trudy, played by Michelle Rodriquez, is flying the helicopter and taking Norm, played by Joel Moore, Jake, played by Sam Worthington and Grace, played by Sigourney Weaver back to the floating mountains Grace is shot while attempting to board. In the scene when Jake is trying to make her more comfortable just before they land, he folds the blanket up to her chin. In the next scene you can see that the blanket is back to where it was before.
Neytiri’s hair is straight and unbraided the night that she spends bonding with Jake at the sacred tree of Eywa. Shortly after the battle begins and her hair is braided like it is when we first see her.
When Max uses a key card to get the three of them out of the cell, I was wondering which one he is using. When he enters he does not have one and yet you don’t see him removing one from the guard.
It is very difficult to pick out mistakes in a world that is vivid with imagination. I was so spellbound watching this that I felt like I was in a trance. I hope to watch it several times to see how many I can find. If you haven’t seen this work of art BY ALL MEANS GO AND SEE IT. You will not be disappointed.
