Image galleryIn 2154, Jake Sully, a paraplegic former marine, accepts a mission proposed by his superiors, at the end of which he will receive the medical treatment necessary for him to walk again. The mission: to take over his dead scientist brother's work for a consortium to extract from a faraway planet a mineral that would fix the energy crisis on Earth. Jake's assignment is to infiltrate the inhabitants of this planet, the Na'vi, using his brother's avatar, which will allow him to virtually investigate the unknown iridescent planet. Once there, all goes according to plan until Jake falls for one of
the alien creatures... In the tradition of classics that defend the cause of Indians against the White Man - "Dances with Wolves", "The Emerald Forest", "Little Big Man", "A Man Called Horse" and "The New World" - James Cameron retreads this old chestnut with his hero taking the side of the noble and peace-loving aliens, as he turns his back on his greedy and warring compatriots. At the same time, Cameron makes the case for love-not-war and saving the planet, and does it all with stupendous action
scenes, a vibrant story and special effects that blow those of Steven Spielberg (in "Jurassic Park") and George Lucas (in the "Star Wars" saga) completely out of the water.
