Blue Man Group on steroids? Think again.
Four years in the making and based on visions James Cameron had years ago when he was a truck driver—Avatar transports you to another planet in such a realistic fashion that you literally have to pinch yourself to remember you’re not one of the Na’vi.
The film takes place in the year 2154 on an energy-starved Earth. The story’s protagonist, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), is a paralyzed former Marine transported light years away to the planet Pandora. Here, humans have built an encroachment called Hell’s Gate with the sole purpose of mining a rare mineral, aptly named “unobtainium.” The only issue is that large amounts of this ore are detected underground, directly beneath the home of a fierce indigenous tribe called the Na’vi—ten-foot-tall beings with feline features.
