James Cameron's AVATAR

[Siliconmaster]

Apparently they had the language designed for them. They even have a bunch of words, naming conventions, and grammars that are never used in the movie.

Yeah. It's not like they were randomly making up gibberish- James Cameron went to a linguist and had him design the entire language. The linguist gave him a bunch of different choices for the sounds, and that's what Cameron picked.

Then to top it off, James Horner comes to the table to wrap it all up nicely in a musical score that draws from almost everything in his resume. You don't even have to listen carefully to hear where it echoes Titanic , Apocalypto, and Troy.

What pleasantly surprised me was that the score had elements and chords from some of Horner's previous films, but the score itself is mostly original. Coming from Horner that's the end of the world. His scores in the '90s were all nearly identical, and it had begun to grate on my nerves. I mean, seriously, Titanic and Braveheart are the same frigging score.

That being said, I really like Horner's Avatar score, and I commend him for putting so much new effort into it.
