In
the epic action adventure fantasy "Avatar", James Cameron, the director
of "Titanic", takes us to a spectacular new world beyond our
imagination. On the distant moon Pandora, a reluctant hero embarks on a
journey of redemption, discovery and unexpected love - as he leads a
heroic battle to save a civilization.
The story’s protagonist, Jake Sully, is an ex-Marine who was
wounded and paralyzed from the waist down in combat on Earth. In order
to participate in the Avatar program, which will give him a healthy
body, Jake agrees to travel to Pandora, a lush rainforest environment
filled with incredible life forms – some beautiful, many
terrifying. Pandora is also the home to the Na’vi, a humanoid
race that lives at what we consider to be a primate level, but they are
actually much more evolved than humans. Ten feet tall and blue skinned,
the Na’vi live harmoniously within their unspoiled world. But
as humans encroach on Pandora in search of valuable minerals, the
Na’vi’s very existence is threatened –
and their warrior abilities unleashed.
Jake has unwittingly been recruited to become part of this
encroachment. Since humans are unable to breathe the air on Pandora,
they have created genetically-bred human-Na’vi hybrids known
as Avatars. The Avatars are living, breathing bodies in the real world,
controlled by a human driver through a technology that links the
driver’s mind to the Avatar body. On Pandora, through his
Avatar body, Jake can be whole once again. Moreover, he falls in love
with a young Na’vi woman, Neytiri, whose beauty is matched by
her ferocity in battle.
As Jake slides deeper into becoming one of her clan, he finds himself
caught between the military-industrial forces of Earth, and the
Na’vi – forcing him to choose sides in an epic
battle that will decide the fate of an entire world.
Conceived 14 years ago and over four years in the making, AVATAR breaks
new ground in delivering a fully immersive, emotional story and
reinvents the moviegoing experience.
