Avatar is a 2009 American epic science fiction film written and directed by James Cameron and starring SawWorthington,Zoe Saldana,Stephenlang,Michelle Rodriquiz,Joel David Moore,Ciovanni Ribisi and Sigourney Weaver. The film is set in 2154, when humans are mining a precious mineral called unobtanium on Pandora a lush moon of a gas gaint in the Alpha Centauri star system.The expansion of the mining colony threatens the continued existence of a local tribe of Na'vi—a humanoid species indigenous to Pandora. The film's title refers to the genetically engineered Na'vi-human hybrid bodies used by a team of researchers to interact with the natives of Pandora.Filming was supposed to take place after the completion of Cameron's 1997 film Titanic, for a planned release in 1999, but according to Cameron, the necessary technology was not yet available to achieve his vision of the film.Work on the language for the film's exterrestric beigns began in summer 2005, and Cameron began developing the screenplay and fictronal universe in early 2006.
Avatar is an extremely expensive movie requiring 3-D glasses made of plastic instead of paper. After viewing all of the extravagant movie effects it was obvious that the movie was also expensively made. Do not try to make sense out of a movie that is considered to be a science fiction. There is the ever present love scene between the so called "alien" and the human observer or participant. The movie will have viewers wondering if the Avatars can only exist in a scientific study channeling to a human mind, then how can there be a war outside of which the human is vulnerable in the Avatar state.
The movie opens with an elaborate warehouse laboratory of scientists studying Avatars. Avatars float in a water filled clear basin and are oversized humans blue striped in color with unusually long necks and torsos. The Avatars' hair is in long single braids down below their backs about the length and resembles the tail of a lion. The face of the Avatar is human enough but is more in the formation or a mountain lion or wild cat with an elongated flat lion like nose and huge yellow and black cat eyes found on lions, tigers or panthers.
