SPOILERS ABOUND:
The hero (Jake) awakes as his (space) convoy arrives on (Pandora), a moon/Planet in orbit around Toldemer {actually a gas giant}. We soon find out that Our Hero has arrived on a Military guarded Mining base/Research facility. What are they mining? Unobtainium. {serriously, it's called "Unobtainum"} What are they studying? The Humanoid, blue skinned, barely clothed, monkey tailed naitives. So, What's the problem? The Naitives' village is sitting on a huge deposit of the Stuff in question with mining. The Scientists plan on negotating with the naitives using "AVATARS", which are brain-dead bio-clones combining their intended host's DNA with that of the Average Naitive creature. Using a "Link Up" Device in the main base, one can take controll of their Avatar, as if they were that being, but more like a Video game. Our Hero, John, is the twin brother of the original intended pilot of his avatar, but, due to {generic gun related stuff}, the brother is dead, and the {wheelchair bound} hero is put in his place to sharing the same DNA. Lucky break, eh? Our hero goes on a research mission as an escort, but wanders off and gets lost in the jungle. He meets the Chief's Daughter, and gets to stay in the village, learning all of their ways. Chief's daughter and Our hero fall in love over the course of three months, then cue the conflict. Military dudes seem to think they're the better of the naitives, have no respect for nature, ect ect ect. Needless to say, Military vs. natives, with Avatars on the Naitive side, is a nearly equal fight. Casulties on both sides. But, regardless, Military and all the Humans, excluding a few select Avatar pilots, are shipped back to their dying world, and Everyone on Pandora lives happily ever after.
END SPOILERS!!!
I give this movie a full reccommendation. Go see it. "AVATAR", by James Cameron; get the game too, if you're that kind of person. Just get out and SEE this AWESOME movie!
