Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a paraplegic Marine, is offered the opportunity to travel to Pandora, a distant planet that Humans are mining for precious minerals.
Once on Pandora Jake is told that the marine objective on the planet is to relocate the local indigenous population, the Na'vi, tall blue cat-like creatures, as their villiage rests on the richest source of minerals.
Jake learns that he is to inflitrate the Na'vi by having his conscious projected into an Avatar - a Na'vi/Human hybrid grown in a lab using his DNA. If he completes his mission, the scientists will give him back his legs.
Ported into the Avatar, Jake takes full advantage of the freedoms his new body provides, and quickly crosses paths with the Na'vi, in particular, the beautiful Neytiri (Zoe Saldana).
With the pressure mounting to move the Na'vi, the Marines mount a final charge determined to exterminate the whole population, but Jake has a change of heart.
Realising he has finally found something worth fighting for, he joins with the Na'vi and leads them against his former employers, utilising the creatures and enviornments of Pandora to fight off the superior Marine invasion.

hype,hype,hype, I don't see it, tell me, what is it, what's so great about that trailer. I'm open minded but until I see something that impresses me more than the blue ja ja binks characters, my minds already made up

This looks very Phantom Menace to me. Really don't see anything here that excites- it just looks like Surrogates with a budget. I realize of course that film mags depend on access to fill their pages, so there's no hope of Total Film et al being even slightly objective (all you need to do is look at how many stars were afforded the Star Wars redux's). Just hope hope the blistering amount of coverage this is receiving adds up to a somewhat watchable film.

This is a very unique film and very well done. I love the way they combine the real-life actors with CGI characters. It's beautiful.

Is it just me or do the graphics for this film look like Animatrix, Final Fantasy spirits within and Final Fantasy VII Advent Children? With the film starring big Blue Thunder Cats who look like Kimahri Ronso from Final Fantasy X, Im looking forward to it as something different :D
