Plot: When his brother is killed in a robbery, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge’s intentions of driving off the native humanoid “Na’vi” in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers Intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na’vi people with the use of an “avatar” identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand – and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora.
Verdict: Popcorn Fluff
Story: We all know this film is meant to be all about the visuals and the story is just a rip off, off many other films. We get the old reluctant hero who has to stand up against the people he is meant to be fighting for in order to save the others. We see how one group of people want to destroy all what is special for another group just for money. They show no remorse for what they do and never try to learn about them before calling them enemies. In conclusion the story will not test you as you are meant to be enjoying the visuals. (7/10)
