10 years in the making and with a budget of $400 million the Avatar movie delivers a spectacular movie experience combining 60% computer generated graphics with 40% live acting.
Some time into the future (200 years according to a video log) man has engaged in a battle with another humanoid race known as the “Na’vi” on the planet Pandorum. The purpose of the human presence on the planet is to extract the material “Unobtanium”, but their destructive ways and complete disregard for the planet’s inhabitants naturally results in armed conflict.
Sam Worthington plays Jake Sully, a marine who has lost the use of his legs. The evil company operating on Pandorum promises to cure Jake through a complex operation if he will help them gather information on the planet by infiltrating the Na’vi. This is possible through the use of a special device, that allows Jake to operate an artificial organism (an Avatar), which is an exact replica of one of the Na’vi. Jake was chosen for this because he is a genetic match of his brother, who previously worked for the company but was killed in action.
Jake arrives at Pandorum and gives himself completely to the task of infiltrating the Na’vi focusing only on getting the job done, so he can get the operation he has been promised. However, as time goes by he develops an affection for these strange people and especially for a woman. On top of that not all the scientists agree with the things being done to the Na’vi people and their planet and Jake will eventually need their help in the inevitable battle against the evil company.
Through much of the movie we follow Jake’s avatar as he slowly gains the trust of the Na’vi, falls in love with them, their way of life and of cause the woman called Neytiri. Eventually it becomes obvious that he must choose sides. This is difficult for Jake since going against the company and the military will ruin his chance of getting his legs fixed. But in the end he does the right thing and he will need all the skills and knowledge that the Na’vi has given him in the coming fight.
