Movie: Avatar

Director: James Cameron

Story:

The story of Avatar begins with an ex-marine Jake Sully, who is given a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel to a distant planet called Pandora, in hopes of carrying out his deceased twin brother's military mission. Paralysed from the waist down, Sully is determined to fulfil the task of deceitfully befriending the indigenous people or Na'vi in hopes of gaining secret and useful information.

Through the physical bodies or Avatars the human scientists have created, Sully, as well as his military and scientist colleagues are able to enter the realistic world that is Pandora without ever leaving the confines of their military base camp. Built from the grafting of genetic and molecular structures of the Na'vi and humans, these Avatars are able to breathe the toxic air on Pandora, communicate effectively, move as efficiently as the natives, as well as transmit informtion to the humans.

On his first expedition outside of the base-camp in his Avatar, Jake finds himself lost and completely bewildered by the world he has been thrust into. In a moment of danger he receives help from one of the Na'vi women called Neytiri, who relentlessly and resentfully is forced into teaching the ignorant human the spiritual and melodic ways of her people. Jake is quickly entranced and inspired by the Na'vi and the way they choose to live their life in gratitude towards their god and all she provides to them. He slowly begins to lose sight of his initial mission and task and he becomes entranced by their passion, faith, belief and sheer determination to live their lives in a humbling and gratifying manner. He begins to finally understand the beauty of their world just in time to realise his own race is destroying it.

Disregarding the Na'vi and their home, the humans begin to attack and threaten the lives of all the indigenous people, for their own greed and cruel intensions. Destroying their home, habitat and trying to conquer their faith and beliefs. The Na'vi, however, stood strong against the technology and power the humans have, using their skills, and knowledge of their homeland to overcome the evil that has engulfed their beautiful and entirely unique planet.
