James Cameron’s movies such as Titanic and the Terminator series compare nothing to Avatar, making is the best movie he has ever created. The crazy good 3-D animation and computer generated graphics make Avatar seem very realistic even though half of the characters in the movie itself are fake. The visual effects and high quality work takes everyone who is watching the movie out of their seat and puts them right into the movie. The film industry has maybe seen another level being set to achieve after the release of Avatar.

Avatar is situated in the year 2154 and centered around a handicapped marine named Jake who lost his legs on a mission on Earth. The movie begins with Jake waking up from a 5 year trip to a moon called Pandora that is several light years away. He ended up signing up for a high-level corporate and military mission his brother Tom (who was a scientist) was working on and had died because he shared his genome structure.

The natives of Pandora are the navis, who are 10 feet tall creatures with sparkly blue skin, tails and many human-like features. The humans created human-navi hybrids which were used to communicate with the navis, known as the Avatar project, which can be controlled by humans. Jake is assigned his brother’s Avatar and loves the motion of walking the first time he controls his Avatar since he misses the feeling of being able to walk.

Colonel Miles Quartich, Jake’s military commander, wants Jake to learn how the navis live and find out more about them as a covert mission operative so he can work on his strategic plans for an attack to capture the mineral deposits of unobtanium (which is a rare and expensive source of energy on Earth) which lies where the navis live. Dr. Grace Augustine however, who is the leading scientist on the Avatar Program has a different set of goals, which is to find out new things and scientific advances while working on a dipomatic solution to get the navis to move from their location to avoid a bloodshed.

A young female by the name Neytiri finds Jake after he gets attacked by a Thanator and separated from his friends while on a mission. She takes him to the navi tribe where the leaders are angry at first but end up accepting Jake and assign Neytiri to teach him the ways of the navi. Jake ends up following in love with Neytiri, but after a whole bunch of adventures where the director takes us through breath-taking visual and sound effects as Jake learns the ways of the navi.

The movie twists as the humans attack the navi tribe and Jake fights with his emotions to decide which side he is on. However, when he sees that the humans just want to kill the navis and capture the unobtanium deposits with greed, he decides to side with the navis and the way of their lives. He leads the navis against a final battle filled with 3-D creative works, amazing details, and excitement as he unites all the navi tribes in one last battle against the humans.
