In the future, Jake, a paraplegic war veteran, is brought to another planet, Pandora, which is inhabited by the Na'vi, a humanoid race with their own language and culture. Those from Earth find themselves at odds with each other and the local culture.

When his brother is killed in battle, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand - and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora.

Maybe some initially might be not attracted to watch the blue creatures. But i pretty much enjoyed the beautiful graphics and fantasy-like show. Besides admiring the glowing forest of Pandora, one of my fav scenes was when Jake learnt to connect, own and tame a creature somewhat like an eagle in Pandora, which is a near death encounter for him. Like it when they soar in the skies together.

Anyway its quite ironic that in the end Jake 'betrayed' his own mankind to become one of them since Man is the greedy and evil one, wanting to destroy their forest for gold/wealth.

Part of the reason why i wanna watch this show was becoz i read how James Cameron (director) put sooo much effort into this project; he was ahead of his times, and years ago, this idea came out, but somehow technology was not as modern as now. Hence only now it's released. This movie is like a neverending journey to tackle problems not existent before by others, and finally they have succeeded.

Well, too bad didnt manage to catch a 3D movie before. This would prolly be spectacular in a 3D setting?
