The Avatar Movie by James Cameron

Ranked #19,039 in Entertainment, #209,532 overall

The Avatar Movie is an Epic Fantasy that Decides the Fate of Pandora

The Avatar movie is probably one of the most ambitious movies ever made that will encapsulate the latest cutting edge technology in cinematic special effects. In fact, the director is known for creating huge budget films that do very, very well. Case in point, The Titanic!

Just imagine this movie, it is a romantic movie and who would have thought a movie that costs well over 200 million dollars would be such a hit?

Well, if James Cameron was your director, then you got a fighting chance. But when you come up with an original epic adventure that takes place in a gorgeous planet located far away that is wrapped up into a age old theme of conquest and resistance... then you got the makings of a sure fire hit called, The Avatar!

You may get your breath taken away after watching the official video of the Avatar trailer (you can see it below). The movie promises adventure, new technology, conflicts, doing the right thing and fantastic imagery...

So again, the Avatar movie takes place a couple hundred years in the future at a far away world called Pandora. This planet has the misfortune to have rare minerals that can solve the the Earth's energy crisis. As you can imagine...

You may get your breath taken away after watching the official video of the Avatar trailer (you can see it below). The movie promises adventure, new technology, conflicts, doing the right thing and fantastic imagery... Heck, there are even Avatar movie toys too!

"Avatar is one of the few excellent shooting game appropriate for children, having an age rating of 12+. Just like Pixar's movies and Nintendo games, Avatar is an high quality triple-A production for the family that stands high above the cheap products usually destined for this audience.

It lacks the depth and maturity of hardcore games bearing the 17+ age rating, like Gears of War, but instead Avatar is enjoyable for casual gamers curious about exploring the incredibly beautiful world of Pandora. The controls are simple and the missions won't demand trained gaming skills, so the Avatar experience is truly accessible to anyone. Even the chaotic online multiplayer is just plain fun and will make you scream and laugh like you were playing Mario Kart.

Just make sure your 16 years old boy doesn't get this under the Christmas tree this year instead of its Modern Warfare 2."

The "Non-Spoiler" Plot of the Avatar Movie

This Movie is Going to Released on December 18th

Pandora in the Avatar movieAs you can imagine...

First of all, I'm only going to give you the bare bones for the plot of the Avatar movie. I don't think it will spoil the enjoyment of this movie for you. And definitely, I won't tell you a single thing about the conclusion. For that, you are going to have to watch the movie! :)

Again, the planet is called Pandora and the native species are the Na'vi. And they are not happy about the fact that the humans are mining the planet for the precious ore. After all, have you EVER seen a open pit mining operation that doesn't spoil the natural beauty of the lands?

Me neither.

That war is causing problems for the humans and the mining corporations. So unexpectedly, the corporate consortium recuits an army to defend the mining operations and eliminate the native Na'vi. One of the biggest problems that the humans have to overcome is the toxic environment.

And into the breech comes our hero, Jake Sully, a former Marine that now is confined to a wheelchair. However, there is a new technology called, Avatar Program that enables Jake to have his conscious installed into a remotely controlled biological body that has combined DNA of the Na'vi and humans.

Jake's job is to use his Avatar to infiltrate the Na'vi and find a way to defeat them for the corporation. And like all well laid out plans... Jake's Avatar gets saved by a beautiful (beauty is always in the eye of the beholder right?) Na'vi female by the name of Neytiri.

And boy, this changes everything!

First of all, I'm only going to give you the bare bones for the plot of the Avatar movie. I don't think it will spoil the enjoyment of this movie for you. And definitely, I won't tell you a single thing about the conclusion. For that, you are going to have to watch the movie! :)

"Probably the most comprehensive book based off a film ever!!

I have to say that I am very pleased with this book! From the layout to its written style (has sort of a viral campaign touch) which immerses the reader. At times I forget I am reading a fictional book, partly based on the fact that a lot of the info is based on real science or inspired by it. James Cameron has done a spectacular job in bringing this universe to life."
