In the future, Jake, a paraplegic war veteran, is brought to a moon, Pandora, which is inhabited by the Na'vi, a humanoid race with their own language and culture. Those from Earth find themselves at odds with each other and the local culture.
On the lush alien world of Pandora live the Na'vi, beings who appear primitive but are highly evolved. Because the planet's environment is poisonous, human/Na'vi hybrids, called Avatars, must link to human minds to allow for free movement on Pandora. Jake Sully, a paralyzed former Marine, becomes mobile again through one such Avatar and falls in love with a Na'vi woman. As a bond with her grows, he is drawn into a battle for the survival of her world.
I give this 3 stars because I loved looking at this movie. There were moments during the movie where my jaw dropped and I couldn't believe what I was looking at. This movie was an absolute visual stunner.

Otherwise, I was offended by how low brow the "plot" and dialogue was. UNOBTANIUM? Really? That's the best James Cameron could come up with? And I merely scratch the lameness surface with that little "plot" point. Every other line in the movie made me cringe. I couldn't help but think if a capable writer had contributed to this film it could have been an all time classic. Instead it will be remembered as the movie that could have been. I've avoided this movie for a couple of years because, given what I've heard, there was not much to expect from the story, although the graphics were spectacular. Finally watched it, and indeed, the graphics are impressive. Still a touch on the cartoony side to my eye, but nevertheless, visually arresting.

But even though I was prepared for a sophomoric plot, I found it hard to stomach this. With some people it will resound. With the people who despise their own culture, the people who loathe being part of a society that grants power to fools with their votes and consumer dollars, they will really connect with this film. It will also help if they know nothing of anthropology, have a one sided view of history taken straight from a Zinn book, and have never spent more than twenty seconds learning about ecology.

And that's fine. There have been more ridiculous stories told, although none more hyped. What personally chaffed me was the portrayal of the military. The film had to have bad guys, I know, but good Lord. I'm biased, I know, but really, I have to mention that it's a parody of real people that would be offensive if it was worth taking seriously. I have overly strong opinions sometimes, I know, but did Cameron have to spend over 300 million to tell a story this vapid? I could go on about how unlikely everything about the last fight scene is from a strategic perspective, or I could point out how culturally horrifying it is that the main character screwed up an important arranged marriage because of his frickin' feelings, but Hollywood makes its bread and butter insisting that love and an aversion to technological progress are sentiments to be overvalued at every turn. It's not surprising, but the reception it has received from people still disturbs me. I want this country to be more environmentally responsible, but I'm still thankful that the 'message' here has been forgotten already.

This gets 5 stars from me, on the basis of its graphics, and on the fact that the acting is good by genre standards. The cast did well, and as a director, I have no less respect for Cameron's skill. I just don't care what he has to say, and this film needed far more originality to make up for how absurd much of it really was. The question lingers as the movie comes to its triumphant body-swapping close: Is this a pro-environment parable or a prophecy of virtual realities yet to come? Cameron's new world may very well be a verdant Matrix.
In the year 2149, paraplegic ex-Marine Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) is offered the chance to travel to Pandora, a distant Class-M world inhabited by a 10-foot-tall cat-like humanoid race, the Na'vi, in order to help exploit the planet's resources. Arriving nearly six years later, in 2154, he remotely "drives" a genetic hybrid of a Na'vi and his late identical twin brother Tom in order to learn about and influence them. He falls in love with Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), the eldest daughter of the local tribal leaders, finding their culture and relationship to the planet to be compelling. Now he must choose sides, either remaining loyal to his fellow humans (consisting of the mining corporation, scientists, and the Marines sent to protect them) or to helping protect the Na'vi and their planet. Avatar was filmed from an original screenplay penned by writer/director/producer James Cameron. However, the screenplay does contain elements and concepts from several science fiction works, including The Jesus Incident (1979) by Frank Herbert and Bill Ransom, Speaker For The Dead by Orson Scott Card, and Winds of Altair by Ben Bova, to name a few. Avatar 2 (2020), Avatar 3 (2021), and Avatar 4 (2024) are in the works with release dates planned for 2017, 2018, and 2019 respectively. "Avatar" is a Sanskrit word meaning incarnation or embodiment. Both this film and the Avatar series are named after this concept. In modern internet usage, the term refers to a small image that appears near a message author's name/handle (ID, nick, gamertag or such). Like the handle, the image appears beside all messages (posts, articles, columns, tweets etc.) the person submits to a system, acting as a representation of the person, much as the hybrid alien bodies are representations of the humans using them. No. This is a completely original movie conceived about a decade before Avatar: The Last Airbender (2003) (2005-2008) aired on the Nickelodeon channel. Because Cameron's concept and screenplay was already registered and copyrighted, he still reserves the right to use the word "avatar" as the title of his movie. A film based on the TV series was released in 2010 as The Last Airbender (2010), but the word "Avatar" was dropped from the title to avoid confusion with this film. This is never explained in the film and is considered to be a MacGuffin, a film term for an item that is unimportant except for its part in progressing the plot. "Unobtainium" is a humorous term used mainly in the aerospace industry to describe the perfect material for an application except for the fact that it does not exist, that it is extremely expensive to make or obtain (hence the name "un-obtain-ium"), or that it is required to violate the laws of physics as the person or persons making the remarks understand them. Corporation administer Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi) states that it's worth "$20 million per kilo", so its value can be related to items such as gold, silver, gems, and large diamonds. Another possibility stems from two scenes in which a sample of the mineral is seen floating in mid-air over a relatively small and weak magnet, about the size of the average pincushion. Superconducting materials are sometimes shown hovering in a magnetic field in demonstrations, but current superconductors only exhibit such behavior when cryogenically cooled. Modern science is attempting to create materials that are superconducting at more useful temperatures. One could guess, then, that the mineral is a naturally-occurring "room temperature superconductor", which would be very valuable indeed. A line by Jake that was cut from the theatrical version and put back in the Extended Edition reveals that Unobtainium is indeed a superconductor (Jake's line also confirms that Pandora's floating mountains are made of the mineral). The film does not explain it but viewers have offered several possibilities, including: (1) as most, if not all, of the military and science crew weren't handicapped (aside from Jake), they wouldn't see a point in spending the money on a more advanced wheelchair, (2) being a former marine, Jake purposefully chose a manually powered wheelchair so he'd still be able to get as much exercise as possible given his condition, (3) Jake cannot afford something more advanced, (4) because the ability to cure paralysis ("get new legs" as said in the movie) exists, people have never bothered advancing wheelchair technology (or it was phased out over the years), and (5) as storage space and weight are a concern, a collapsible and portable wheelchair is preferable to a heavier, larger chair. As an example, consider the size of the storage locker assigned to Jake and his only having one small sea bag (dufflebag to non-jarheads) of personal gear. James Cameron also states in his early draft scriptlet that it costs "a million dollars a pound to get something from Pandora back to Earth." The four-minute Earth intro that was reinserted into the Extended Edition has Jake reveal that his VA benefits amount to very little money which implies that he is unable to afford a more advanced wheelchair (in fact he is using the same wheelchair on Earth thus confirming that it is his property). Colonel Quaritch (Stephen Lang) states that he received the scars on his first day on Pandora. While the movie doesn't state how it happened, we can assume that the wildlife, likely a viperwolf or thanator (the large cat-like creature that Jake escapes), gave it to him. We see several floating mountains in the movie having majestic waterfalls, starting from close to the top of the mountain. Yet there is no snowcap and no place for enough precipitation to collect in order to fuel waterfalls of that size. Three explanations have been offered that might explain that conundrum.

(1) When it rains on Pandora, the water is stored in the rock of the mountains as groundwater (the same as water is trapped in the porous rocks on Earth). This would not require constant precipitation as the "floating mountains" themselves act as aquifers (rock-made reservoirs) if it can be assumed that the upper layers of rock are permeable i.e. water can percolate into them, but the lower levels of the mountains are impermeable, thus the water is trapped inside the rocks themselves and do not simply fall out of the bottom. Heavier rocks lying above the lighter rocks could also help to pressurize the water and push it upwards toward the top of the mountain rather than pouring out half-way down (much the same way as oil is pressurized underground and forced upwards).

(2) The rocks quickly condense water from the surrounding fog on their surface and guide it through creeks to the waterfalls on their sides. The mountains are shown surrounded by a significant amount of fog.

(3) The flux vortex (the unusual magnetic conditions that allow the rocks to float) allows water to behave in unusual ways, e.g., after falling from the waterfalls, the water evaporates or is magnetically drawn back up to the underside of the rock, whereby it moves upwards via capillary action only to cycle back out at the top again. Avatars were controlled either by telepresence or by mind upload from the scientists into the avatar body, then mind download back to preserve memories. Both cases require a high-speed data connection between the operator and the Avatar. This connection would also go through the field that prevented humans from tracking the Na'vi, because Jake wakes up many times in the middle of the Na'vi forest. Given that the humans had this brain-avatar data connection all the time, it stands to reason that they could use it to communicate among themselves as avatars. In the movie, however, Jake and other scientists are still using the radios that are hanging around their necks. One possibility is that they needed radios to communicate with non-Avatars: aircraft pilots, the Na'vi, or other humans. Hence, Avatars just used radios to communicate among themselves out of convenience. It is also possible that the type of link they use for controlling the Avatars is not practical for other types of communication. One such possibility would be that of a direct, neuron level connection between the avatar and the controller. This type of connection (based on quantum entanglements, which could explain why it is not affected by distance or interference from the field) would not be "translated" by a machine so it couldn't be used to transmit anything other than body control "commands" in both directions.
