Just watched Avatar NOT The Last Airbender because The Last Airbender sucks . This movie Avatar is definitely awesome ! And yes, i haven't watch Avatar before, this is the first time i watched it . This is the most overrated movie ever . James Cameron is going to release Avatar 2 and 3 in future, I'll definitely watch it in theater next time .

Avatar ( 2009 film )


In the year 2154, the RDA Corporation is mining a valuable mineral called unobtanium on Pandora, a lush, Earth-like moon in the Alpha Centauri star system.[9] Pandora is inhabited by the non-technological Na'vi, ten-foot-tall (3 m), blue-skinned, sapient humanoids[29] who live in harmony with nature and worship a mother goddess called Eywa.

To learn about the Na'vi and Pandora's biosphere, scientists use Na'vi-human hybrid bodies called avatars that are operated via mental link by genetically matching humans. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a paraplegic former Marine, replaces his twin brother, a scientist trained as an avatar operator who was murdered in a robbery. Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver), head of the Avatar Program, considers Sully an inadequate replacement and assigns him as a bodyguard. As Grace, scientist Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore) and Jake collect biological samples and data in the forest in their avatar forms, a predator attacks Jake. He flees for his life and becomes separated from the others. Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), a female Na'vi, reluctantly rescues Jake. Seeing portents from Eywa, she takes him to her clan's dwelling, Hometree. Neytiri's mother Mo'at (C. C. H. Pounder), the clan's spiritual leader, orders her daughter to teach the "warrior dreamwalker" their ways.

The head of Sec-Ops, the RDA's private security force, Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang), promises Jake the expensive cure for his paraplegia in exchange for intelligence about the Na'vi.[30]Hometree is on top of the richest deposits of unobtanium for hundreds of miles. When Grace learns that Jake is passing information to Quaritch, she relocates herself, Jake and Norm to a remote outpost. Over three months, Jake grows close to Neytiri and her people. After Jake is initiated into the tribe, he and Neytiri choose each other as mates. Jake reveals his change of allegiance when he attempts to disable a bulldozer. When Quaritch shows Administrator Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi), the leader of the RDA colony,[31] one of Jake's video diary entries, in which Jake admits that the Na'vi will never abandon Hometree, Selfridge orders Hometree destroyed.

Despite Grace's argument that destroying Hometree could affect the bio-botanical neural network to which Pandoran organisms are connected, Selfridge gives Jake and Grace one hour to convince the Na'vi to evacuate. When Jake reveals his original mission, Neytiri accuses him of betrayal, and Jake and Grace's avatars are tied up. Quaritch's forces destroy Hometree, killing Neytiri's father, clan chief Eytukan (Wes Studi), as well as many others. Mo'at frees Jake and Grace, but they are unplugged and imprisoned. Trudy Chacón (Michelle Rodriguez), a pilot disgusted with Quaritch's brutal methods, breaks them out and flies them to an avatar link outpost. During the escape, Quaritch shoots and seriously wounds Grace.

The Na'vi are able to link mentally with some animals. To regain the Na'vi's trust, Jake takes a dangerous gamble and links with a Toruk, a powerful flying predator that has been tamed only five times in Na'vi history. Jake finds the refugees at the sacred Tree of Souls and pleads with Mo'at to heal Grace. The clan attempts to transfer Grace from her human body into her avatar with the aid of the Tree, but she succumbs to her injuries before it can be completed.

Supported by the new Omaticaya chief, Tsu'tey (Laz Alonso), Jake recruits thousands of warriors from neighboring clans. On the eve of battle, Jake prays to Eywa, via a neural connection to the Tree of Souls, to intercede on behalf of the Na'vi. Quaritch detects the mobilization of the Na'vi and convinces Selfridge to authorize a preemptive strike against the Tree of Souls, reckoning that its destruction will demoralize the natives.

The Na'vi fight back but suffer heavy casualties; Tsu'tey and Trudy are killed. Just when all seems lost, Pandoran wildlife suddenly join the attack and overwhelm the humans, which Neytiri interprets as Eywa answering Jake's prayer. Jake destroys a shuttle converted into a makeshift bomber before it can reach the Tree of Souls. Just before his own ship crashes, Quaritch dons an AMP suit and breaches the avatar link unit containing Jake's human body, exposing Jake to Pandora's poisonous atmosphere, before Neytiri kills him. She gets to Jake in time to save him. They reaffirm their love as she sees his human body for the first time.

With the exception of Jake, Norm, Max, and several other scientists, all humans are expelled from Pandora. Jake is seen wearing the insignia of the Omaticaya leader. The clan performs the ritual dedicated to Eywa that permanently transfers Jake from his human body into his avatar.


Ratings: 11/10

"Avatar is also an emotional journey of redemption and revolution. It is the story of a wounded ex-marine, thrust unwillingly into an effort to settle and exploit an exotic planet rich in bio-diversity, who eventually crosses over to lead the indigenous race in a battle for survival" and "We're creating an entire world, a complete ecosystem of phantasmagorical plants and creatures, and a native people with a rich culture and language." (source: Wikipedia)

In the cast:

- Sam Worthington as Jake Sully, the wounded ex-marine who undergoes an experiment to exist as an avatar .

- Zoe Saldana as Jake's alien lover .


- Sigourney Weaver as a botanist who mentors Jake Sully .


Pandora's floating "Hallelujah Mountains" were inspired in part by the Chinese Huang Shan mountains (pictured).

The Last Airbender ??? Aang, why the fuck are you doing in my blog ?










They can take the future that we'll never know,

They can take the places that we said we will go,
All the broken dreams take everything,
Just take it away but they can never have yesterday .










I'm currently listening to ''Yesterday'' - Leona Lewis
