Avatar - The movie by James Cameron


Avatar is taking place in a future alien world on the planet, Pandora.

In the begining of the movie we are introduced to the former Marine Jake Sully, who has agreed to travel light years away to this remote outpost of Pandora. On the planet of Pandora a large corporation are mining for a very rare mineral that will help solving the Earth's energi crisis.

Jack have been paralyced from the waist down and is therfor confined to a wheelchair, but this is not stopping him now that he is a Marine by heart.

On Pandora the atmosfere is toxic and the only way humans can breath is by oxigine maskes. However Jack is introduced to the Avatar program in which humans can be "transformed" into the local natives of Pandora - the Na'vi.

Jack's mission is to infiltrate the Na'vi and learn as much as possible about them. The reason is that the humans is planing to take over the area, because of the findings of a huge site of minerals
were the Na'vi is living.

At first the Na'vi is very hostile towards Jack Sully, be course they see him as a threat and half human. But after some time they start to trust him and treat him as he was one of them. Jack is introducede to a fimale Na'vi named, Neytiri, who is teaching him the Na'vi way of living and after she saves Jack's life everything changes. They fall in love.

Jack is learning to respect the Na'vi and realise how wrong it is for the corporation to exploit the resorses of the planet, Pandora and how the humans are trying to make the Na'vi to leave the area were the Na'vi is living.

In the end of the movie the conflict between the humans and the Na'vi have turned into a battle, where Jack Sully is leading the Na'vi to hard, but righteous victory.

This is one of the most impressive movies that I have ever seen. Not just because for the movie being in 3D, but also that it have taken James Cameron 15 years from the time he first wrote the script until the movie came out - all because the technology was not ready to do what he wanted it to do.

When James Cameron wrote the script it was attentet to be a trilogy and have already pronounced that there will be made a Avatar II
in the near future and perhaps also a third movie in a few years from now.
