The story’s protagonist, Jake Sully, is a former Marine who was wounded and paralyzed from the waist down in combat on Earth. In order to participate in the Avatar program, which will give him a healthy body, Jake agrees to travel to Pandora, a lush rainforest environment filled with incredible life forms – some beautiful, many terrifying. Pandora is also the home to the Na’vi, a humanoid race that lives at what humans would consider to be a primitive level, but are actually much more evolutionarily advanced than humans. Ten feet tall, with tails and blue skin that sparkles, the Na’vi live harmoniously within their unspoiled world. But as humans encroach on Pandora in search of valuable minerals, the Na’vi’s very existence is threatened – and their warrior abilities are unleashed.
Jake has unwittingly been recruited to become part of this encroachment. Since humans are unable to breathe the air on Pandora, they have created genetically-bred human-Na’vi hybrids known as Avatars. The Avatars are living, breathing bodies in the real world, controlled by a human driver through a technology that links the driver’s mind to the Avatar body. On Pandora, through his Avatar body, Jake can be whole once again. Moreover, he falls in love with a young Na’vi woman, Neytiri, whose beauty is matched by her ferocity in battle.
As Jake slides deeper into becoming one of her clan, he finds himself caught between the military-industrial forces of Earth, and the Na’vi – forcing him to choose sides in an epic battle that will decide the fate of an entire world.

Dude the CGI is mindblowing. That's why I'm so looking forward to it. Definitely something to watch in IMAX.Ultrafunkula wrote:

Mmmmmh. It was good looking but... I dunno. Didn't impress me that much. Need to see more to be convinced. Dunno if it was the flu that is making me disorientated constantly or what but I didn't know if it was a Madagascar sequel from time to time. Too much bright clean happy colours. Fuckit, I'll watch it again.ghettoperson wrote:

I will admit, I didn't like the appearance of the aliens. But the rest was seriously impressive.Ultrafunkula wrote:

Everything was too clean imho. I liked the HK's in T-salvation better since they were a bit damaged and looked used. One thing I hate is everything seems to be on fast forward in movies these days. Ok, this was a teaser, but I really hope the speed ain't that blurry in the movie. Still gonna go watch it to see what the füzz is about.ghettoperson wrote:

Just saw an advert for this at the cinema tonight. Film looks shit, but all the marines shouting and shit gave me shivers down my spine.
