Avatar as we have all heard is expected to be the biggest blockbuster of the century and a movie that is believed to be a breakthrough in sci-fi filmmaking. All set to hit the theaters on 18th of December, the movie is packed with awe-inspiring entertainment that is expected to draw both movie aficionados as well as occasional moviegoers to the theatres. Let us take a quick glimpse of the story and what the film holds in store for us.

The movie is set in Pandora, a moon in the alpha-centauri galaxy and revolves around the natives of this alien land, the Navi and the Unobtanium, a human creation that first turned earth into a wasteland and is now exploiting Pandora too. The Navi population is deemed as an intellectually superior race and lives a life of peace and harmony. A human colony after the destruction of earth is now based in Navi and is the cause of agony to this peace-loving population.

The epic saga is set a century later into the future and represents everything that one can imagine to be or happen in centuries later from now. The hero Jake, an ex-mariner, is now a paraplegic and has an ‘Avatar’, Vishnu, who is controlled by Jake’s conscience while he lies in a casket still and lifeless. The Avatar like the natives is a nine-foot blue alien with a cat-like face and features that are typical of the race.

The Avatar, in fact Jake falls in love with the Navi princess from whom he learns the values of love, peace and harmony, which humans have lost altogether. It is his love for the Princess Neytiri, played by Zoe Saldana, and the lessons of friendship and love that he learns from her, which change his perspectives totally. He now decides to lead the Navi race against the evil human colonists that are destroying the beautiful and serene planet of Navi.

You can watch stunning battles between the Navi population and the villainous Unobtanium that are giant cyborgs that appear like massive war tanks packed with state of the art weaponry. Viewing these grueling action scenes on 3-D, is the ultimate experience that Cameron has planned for cinema buffs. He says that he has lived his dream through this film and has invested everything he believes in, into making Avatar, his greatest venture ever.

Everyone is waiting with abated breath, for the release of the movie so that they can view this mega spectacle of the era.

Avatar started out the year with more exclamation points than any mere movie could possibly deliver. Wild suggestions that the new 3-D technology it was deploying had found a new way to penetrate your brain like some kind of alien drug filtered into even the normally more sober New York Times. Reviews of footage screened for limited audiences at Comic Con and elsewhere drew similar, awestruck reactions for the most part.
