Movie Synopsis
Avatar takes us to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a newcomer from Earth embarks on an epic adventure, ultimately fighting to save the alien world he has learned to call home.

We enter the alien world through the eyes of Jake Sully, a former Marine confined to a wheelchair. But despite his broken body, Jake is still a warrior at heart. He is recruited to travel light years to the human outpost on Pandora, where a corporate consortium is mining a rare mineral that is the key to solving Earth's energy crisis. Because Pandora's atmosphere is toxic, they have created the Avatar Program, in which human "drivers" have their consciousness linked to an avatar, a remotely-controlled biological body that can survive in the lethal air. These avatars are genetically engineered hybrids of human DNA mixed with DNA from the natives of Pandora... the Na'vi.

Reborn in his avatar form, Jake can walk again. He is given a mission to infiltrate the Na'vi, who have become a major obstacle to mining the precious ore. But a beautiful Na'vi female, Neytiri, saves Jake's life, and this changes everything. Jake is taken in by her clan, and learns to become one of them, which involves many tests and adventures. As Jake's relationship with his reluctant teacher Neytiri deepens, he learns to respect the Na'vi way and finally takes his place among them. Soon he will face the ultimate test as he leads them in an epic battle that will decide the fate of an entire world.

Movie Review
I'm not a big fan of alien-themed movies. But the visuals and the effects of this show greatly wowed me. I guess that's also the only thing that kept me awake throughout the entire movie (i watched at 1.15am-4am). The storyline is good, but a lil long for me, in a good way. It's due to the progress of the storyline. In a way it's quite well planned, not draggy at all. A good movie to watch on any occasion with anybody, alone, with a date or family and friends. I would recommend everyone to catch this through the Christmas and New Year holidays. The thought of it already makes me warm. (",)

Overall Rating: 4.5/5
