Science Fiction, Rated PG 13 (2009)
A former Marine fills in for his brother as an Avatar driver on Planet Pandora. With very little training Jake Sully (Worthington) jumps right in and finds out that there is something special about him that gets the natives to accept him into their village and train him in their ways. Over time he grows to love the Na'vi way of life and becomes extremely close to Neytiri, the one who has taken him under her wing. All too quickly the reason he was put there in the first place comes to a boiling point. The human's goal all along was to gather intelligence that would help them relocate the Na'vi willfully so that they could mine the precious metal in their land. If the Na'vi don't go peacefully they are prepared to use force and Jack suddenly finds himself forced to choose sides. Will he fight for his people or betray the peaceful Na'vi that he has come to love?
- This movie was a gold mine of amazing visual imagery. The Pandora forest is filled with unusual animals, brightly glowing plant life, and visually stunning people.
- The Na'vi are tall, graceful and lean. They are so powerful in their movements that you forget that they are not invincible. With all of their physical prowess they can be killed just like any human.
- This was the classic story of the impossible fight and not being afraid to die for your people and what you believe in. The fight for what is just and right.
- A bow and arrow is nothing compared to a machine gun aircraft but the Na'vi rallied and refused to back down after the humans attacked their peaceful way of life. It was terrible to see these innocent people being gunned down by the greedy humans much like the Native Americans were attacked by Americans so long ago.
- This movie is 162 minutes long but not once did I feel that it went on too long. Magnificent movie from start to finish.
