My favourite film is Avatar. It is a science fiction film with the newest technology 3D.
 
The film was directed by James Cameron with the acting of Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana. This film takes place in the year of 2154 and brings us to a spectacular world beyond imagination called Pandora. Jake Sully, a disabled former marine decides to take his brother`s place in a mission on the Pandora. Later, he realises that he can walk again in his avatar and later he falls in love with a native girl. Finally, he did not obey the control of people from real life, he helps the natives fight for their home. 

The film is romantic and gripping with many special effects. After the premiere, all the critics were amazed by its technical visuals.
