Avatar
Winner of 3 Oscars
From James Cameron, Director of "Terminator 2" and "Titanic"
Set in the future, Avatar is the story of a paraplegic ex-Marine, Jake (Sam Worthington, Clash of the Titans). Following the death of his brother, he finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet called Pandora, filled with exotic humanoid life forms, the "Na'vi".
Jake soon learns of a greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi, Public Enemies), whose intentions are of driving off the Na'vi to mine for precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for a spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch (Stephen Lang, Public Enemies), all while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the "Na'vi" people. However, Jake quickly begins to bond with the native tribe and falls in love with the beautiful alien named Neytiri (Zoe Saldana, Death at a Funeral), while the ruthless Colonel moves forward with his extermination tactics, forcing Jake to take a stand - and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora.

The message of this film is about as subtle as a baseball bat. Having said that, I do find this a completely enjoyable film. I have great admiration for the skills that went behind the making of this film, and the craftsmanship that went into its filming. Yes, there are no great surprises, and you know how things will turn out. But that should not lessen our enjoyment of this truly wonderful piece of filmmaking.Fantastic - ABMovieReView

This is a great movie to watch and own!!! Thanks for reading :-)Everyone Liked It - BarbA
Everyone in the house liked it, from teenagers to Grandparents. It was watched well more than once, and if we didn't want some more DVDs, we'd keep watching it.
A lot of people have commented on the racial aspect of the movie, but it's easy to look past that and watch it as a movie to be enjoyed.
