Plot: In uncertain future paraplegic former marine Jake Sully is sent to a strange and mysterious planet called Pandora. It is covered by dense primeval forests and unknown alien creatures, for example the intelligent ethnic beings "Na'Vi". Pandora is meant to serve as a new home for humanity and source of the rare mineral "Unobtainium". As Jake is not able to serve in combat any longer he helps a scientific group to examine the Na'Vi's mysteries. Therefor he controlles a hybrid Human/Na'Vi "Avatar" that can breathe the slightly toxic air of Pandora and chum up with native inhabitans. So Jake meets the femal Na'Vi Neytiri.

Avatar impresses in many ways. It shows a huge variety of fantastic plants and creatures, underlayed by awsome sound effects, a mixture of real and animated pictures as well as the featured 3-dimensional experience. This world is designed wonderfully and the story is not too simple. It even shows some special turnings in the plot, though it might seem a little conventional.
