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.
