The Plot: The story’s hero is Jake Sully, a former Marine confined to a wheelchair. Bitter and disillusioned, he’s still a warrior at heart. All Jake ever wanted was something worth fighting for, and he finds it in the place he least expected: on a distant world. Jake has been recruited to join an expedition to the moon Pandora, which corporate interests are strip-mining for a mineral worth $20 million per kilogram on Earth. To facilitate their work, the humans use a link system that projects a person’s consciousness into a hybrid of humans and Pandora’s indigenous humanoids, the Na’vi. This human-Na’vi hybrid – a fully living, breathing body that resembles the Na’vi but possesses the individual human’s thoughts, feelings and personality – is known as an “avatar.”

In his new avatar form, Jake can once again walk. His mission is to interact with and infiltrate the Na’vi with the hope of enlisting their help – or at least their acquiescence – in mining the ore. A beautiful Na’vi female, Neytiri, saves Jake’s life, albeit reluctantly, because even in his avatar body, Jake represents to her the human encroachment on the Na’vi’s unspoiled world.

As Jake’s relationship with Neytiri deepens, along with his respect for the Na’vi, he faces the ultimate test as he leads an epic conflict that will decide nothing less than the fate of an entire world.

My Review: I remember watching T2 when i was younger and being left in awe when it was said and done. There has been amazing movies since then, but nothing that left me breathless as Avatar did. James Cameron is back in a big way and Avatar is proof of that. From the beginning to end this film is amazing visually and story wise.

This movie pulls you in so deep even from the beginning as the story is rich. Watching Jake go from (as he is called in the beginning of the film) a “baby” to one of the tribe members was great. I love the twist Cameron gave to all of the wildlife on the planet all aquatic based life forms in ways you could never imagine . While you can see the end coming after about half of the movie it doesn’t bring down the film at all.You are pulling for the Na’vi the whole film as Cameron’s hidden message hits your heart hard.

I recommend this film to all who truly love film. You will never forget anything you seen in this movie.

Two new clips from James Cameron’s highly anticipated film Avatar made their way online last night.

With several featurettes, clips, and promo photos being released in the last month or so, this film is finally getting the sort of promotion it deserves.

The first clip is from Cineplex in which Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) introduces Jake (Sam Worthington) to her Banshee. Watch the clip below.

The next clip exclusively from MSN features SecFor administrator Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi) and Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver) discuss the prospect of using Jake Sully for the Avatar program, and Selfridge reminds Augustine of the true mission on Pandora–to win over the indigenous creatures. Enjoy the clip below.

Avatar will release in theaters on December 18, 2009 and also stars Michelle Rodriguez.

SpoilerTV has posted a low quality version of a new TV Spot for James Cameron’s Avatar up on the web. There’s not much to say about it other than it shows off a bit of action in a few unseen scenes.

You can watch the new clip below.

A new poster for the highly anticipated film by James Cameron, entitled Avatar has debuted online.

The internet has become overly saturated with news and hype regarding this film so I don’t feel I really need to explain it. If you don’t know what the film is about, look below this post at related posts to find out more.

Have a look at the new poster below.

A new featurette for James Cameron’s Avatar has popped up over at Rotten Tomatoes, which gives us a sci-fi look at the technology used in the field from high-tech weaponry to land-air vehicles.

Michelle Rodriguez says one thing about Cameron that I thought was interesting, and that was that the technology used in the film actually had to be logical. That is that in the future, we could possibly see vehicles and weaponry like that used in the film–interesting!

Anyway, have a look at the featurette below.

Another new promotional photo of Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) from James Cameron’s Avatar has been posted up over on the movie’s official Facebook Fan Page.

I think it is a lot like the other ones we’ve seen, but you just can’t beat those cool graphics. I especially like the cool (as in cold) color work we’ve been seeing lately. Have a look at the full photo below.

The first clip from James Cameron’s Avatar has been posted up over at /Film. Although the clip is very low resolution, you can definitely get a feel for how the action sequences will play out.

The reason the clip is in low resolution is because it comes to us via LG through some sort of mobile phone campaign. /Film reports that there is more to come from them too, with Total Film promising a full version of this clip lasting minutes (rather than seconds) on Thursday.

The URL that the clip comes from refers to the monster in the scene as a Thanator, in case you were wondering.

After the clip you can sneak a peek at a new picture of Neytiri, Na’vi played by Zoe Saldana, brought to us by USA Today.

Avatar is set to release in theaters on December 18, 2009 and also stars Sam Worthington, Michelle Rodriguez, and Sigourney Weaver.

Some new, high resolution shots of Jake’s avatar and Neytiri from James Cameron’s Avatar have been brought online by Coca-Cola. I think the photos are excellent and really give you a great look at the astounding job they’ve done with the CGI for this film. I can’t wait to see this film in all it’s glory.

Have a look at the new photos below.
