The Last Airbender is a film about a young boy who starts training to fulfill his destiny as the Avatar.The backdrop of this film may have its roots in Chinese culture. It also espouses religious themes like reincarnation. Having a parallel spiritual world enables one to enter into a fantasy world where not only people could communicate to them; they also have special powers of bending air, water, earth, and fire.
If the audience automatically shifts his sensibilities to another state, he might as well be enthralled with the spirit world. But for clarification, as Christians, we don't believe in reincarnation. Having said that, let us always be aware of the positive points of the film: the struggle for discipline and training in realizing one's vocation, the state of balance of this world, and the triumph of good over evil. Here, the last Airbender is a powerful force for good.
Rating: 4/5
