Avatar 3D

Avatar, a live action film in 3D from writer/director James Cameron (Titanic, Aliens, The Terminator), features a new generation of immersive special effects that take us to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery as he leads an epic battle to save a civilization. The story's hero is Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a former Marine confined to a wheelchair. Bitter and disillusioned, he's still a warrior at heart. All Jake ever wanted was something worth fighting for, and he finds it in the place he least expected: on a distant world. Jake has been recruited to join an expedition to the moon Pandora, which corporate interests are strip-mining for a mineral worth $20 million per kilogram on Earth. To facilitate their work, the humans use a link system that projects a person's consciousness into a hybrid of humans and Pandora's indigenous humanoids, the Na'vi. This human-Na'vi hybrid—a fully living, breathing body that resembles the Na'vi but possesses the individual human's thoughts, feelings and personality—is known as an "avatar." In his new avatar form, Jake can once again walk. His mission is to interact with and infiltrate the Na'vi with the hope of enlisting their help—or at least their acquiescence—in mining the ore. Complications arise when Jake falls in love with a beautiful Na'vi female (Zoe Saldana) who saves his life, leading to an epic conflict that will decide nothing less than the fate of an entire world. Winner of 3 Academy Awards, including Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects.
