Avatar Movie (Human Militant Industrialist Destroying Nature And Earth)

[Three if by government]

The storys protagonist, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), is a former Marine who was wounded and paralyzed from the waist down in combat on Earth. Jake is selected to participate in the Avatar program, which will enable him to walk. Jake travels to Pandora, a lush jungle-covered extraterrestrial moon filled with incredible life forms, some beautiful, many terrifying. Pandora is also home to the Navi, a sentient humanoid race that are more physically capable than humans, although considered primitive. Standing three meters tall, with tails and sparkling blue skin, the Navi live in harmony with their unspoiled world. As humans encroach deeper into Pandora's forests in search of valuable minerals, the Navi unleash their formidable warrior abilities to defend their threatened existence. Jake has unwittingly been recruited to become part of this encroachment. Since humans are unable to breathe the air on Pandora, they have created genetically-bred human-Navi hybrids known as Avatars. The Avatars are living, breathing bodies that are controlled by a human "driver" through a technology that links the driver's mind to their Avatar body. On Pandora, through his Avatar body, Jake can be whole once again. Sent deep into Pandora's jungles as a scout for the soldiers that will follow, Jake encounters many of Pandora's beauties and dangers. There he meets a young Navi female, Neytiri, whose beauty is only matched by her ferocity in battle. Over time, Jake integrates himself into Neytiri's clan, and begins to fall in love with her. As a result, Jake finds himself caught between the military-industrial forces of Earth, and the Navi, forcing him to choose sides in an epic battle that will decide the fate of an entire world. [D-Man2010]

Avatar is set during the 22nd century on a small moon called Pandora, which orbits a gas giant, and is inhabited by the tribal Na'vi, ten foot blue humanoids that are peaceful unless attacked. Humans cannot breathe Pandoran air, so they genetically engineer human/Na'vi hybrids known as Avatars that can be controlled via a mental link. A paralyzed Marine named Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) volunteers to exist as an Avatar on Pandora, falling in love with a Na'vi princess and becoming caught up in the conflict between her people and the human military that is consuming their world.

Sounds like a good movie if you want your kids to feel guilty for their very existence....

[Natural Law]

The very premise of the movie requires suspension of disbelief. I am an adult and I don't expect too much from the theme of the movie, but the subplots look to be pretty good and the graphics are going to be fantastic. It doesn't look to be too different than the Ewoks fighting against the Empire (that we all rooted for).

[cripplecreek]

I’m looking forward to seeing it for the visuals alone. Seems to be pretty standard sci fi fare plotwise.

People do you see what your kids are up against just like that Wally movie same story line lazy fat humans destroying planet ....This propaganda is all around us there is no escape from these enviro marxists.

Break out a board game or go outside and have a catch while you can keep them away from this TV and movie assault by the leftists.

[popdonnelly]

The only acceptable villains in today’s films are evil white industrialists. Which tells you everything you need to know about the prejudices and bigotry of contemporary American society.

Its nothing more than propaganda demonize military and humans for destroying the planet Al Gore would be proud

[Three if by government]

Its easy to see whats happening once you open your eyes and get your head out of your ......

[VairyAngel]

I Watched the preview and it seems like a good movie. My grandchildren watch the cartoon and it seems harmless enough. I may enjoy watching it myself....

[Natural Law]

"Its nothing more than propaganda demonize military and humans for destroying the planet"

BFD! It's fiction / fantasy. I'll se it at least a couple of times and expect to buy the Blue Ray as soon its available.

[gallandro]

You are confusing Avatar with Avatar: The Last Airbender. Not the same thing.

[VairyAngel]

That sucks.

[mdmathis6]

The cartoon is a Japanese anime called Avatar the last Airbender. It’s definitely not the same story lines or plots as Cameron’s Avatar.

[cripplecreek]

Yep.

Again its pretty standard sci fi fare and has been for decades. One of my guilty pleasures was “Silent running” starring Bruce Dern. Hell, Joan Baez sang the theme music for it. Besides, who couldn’t love the idea of Dern blowing himself up with a nuke?

Star Trek did their politically correct stuff in the original series as well. It really isn’t anything new.

[Tai_Chung]

Avatar is nothing like the TV series. The movie “The Last Airbender” is the one based on the cartoon.

[Psycho_Bunny]

The trailer I saw looked like total crap.

[GL of Sector 2814]

It doesn't look to be too different than the Ewoks fighting against the Empire (that we all rooted for).

I was rolling my eyes when 26 years ago when I first watched ROTJ in the theater. Stone-age teddy bears defeating a starship-wielding empire? I don't care if Stormtroopers can't shoot very well, it was absurd.

[the anti-liberal]

Movies have become overly politicized. I'd like to see entertainment for entertainment's sake.

This is why I haven't been to a movie theater since Star Trek, and hadn't been to one for years prior.

[Two Kids' Dad]

“The story’s protagonist, Jake Sully... “

That’s all I needed to know. Now I’m definitely not going to see this movie. The clueless idiots that write these movies can’t seem to get past the fact that there are more male names out there besides Jack, Jake, and Johnny.

Henceforth I’ll boycott any movie where a main character has one of those names. I mean, seriously folks, why does every movie made in the last 15 years have to have one or more of these names as a significant (usually main) character? The only exceptions seem to be movies adapted from books, and even then it’s no guarantee of an original moniker.

[cripplecreek]

Now Zapp Brannigan is a real hero's hero. They should make a feature film about him

Kif, I have made it with a woman. Inform the men.

Brannigan's Law is like Brannigan's love, hard and fast.

We have failed to uphold Brannigan's Law. However I did make it with a hot alien babe. And in the end, is that not what man has dreamt of since first he looked up at the stars?

Now you're officially my woman. Kudos! I can't say I don't envy you.

Men, you're lucky men. Soon, you'll all be fighting for your planet. many of you will be dying for your planet. A few of you will be put through a fine mesh screen for your planet. They will be the luckiest of all.

Now, like all great plans, my strategy is so simple an idiot could have devised it. On my command all ships will line up and file directly into the alien death cannons, clogging them with wreckage.

You're a brave robot, son. But when I'm in command every mission's a suicide mission.

Ah, yes. Comets, the icebergs of the sky. By jackknifing off one after another at breakneck speed, we can create a gravity boost, or something.

Here's to us poor schmoes, working for the man. Even if he is a hot, sexy female man.

Leela! How could you? Our love has had to endure your constant hatred, and now this?

Remember lieutenant, the quickest way to a girl's bed is through her parents. Have sex with them and you're in.

We fight this battle not for ourselves, but for our children, and our children's children, which is why I'm forming a children's brigade.

Ladies, you're under arrest. Prepare to be boarded again and again.

"What makes a good man go neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?"

"Wow, one day a man has everything...,then the following day he blows up a $40 billion space station, and the next day he has nothing. It really makes you think."

"if I said you had a beautiful body would you take your pants off and dance around a bit?"

“The trailer I saw looked like total crap.”

I totally agree!

[SirJohnBarleycorn]

Just to round out the story for everyone’s edification:

Once the protaganist (the half-human half-Na’vi Jake) integrates himself into Neytiri’s clan, he begins to call himself by his full name, “Jake Hussein Sully.”

Neytiri’s clan calls their home on Pandora “Altgeld Gaardyns.”

Captured Na’vi are forced by their human captors to work on cotton plantations.

And finally (warning: spoiler!) Jake and the Na’vi prevail at last over the humans when Jake manages to impose crippling taxation and indebtedness on the human civilization that ultimately brings them down.

Is this the sci-fi version of Dances with Wolves
