Avatar, like the other movies produced by James Cameron, is not solely for the purpose of entertainment. Ironically, as entertaining as this movie is, it does send us a message. It is a clear shout-out from Cameron that it is time to develop an anti-war mindset and to save the remainder of mother nature on Earth.
The story is set in the future (2154), involving a mission by the US Armed Forces to the Earth-sized moon orbiting around a massive star. Pandora is rich in resources and minerals very necessary to Earth, which has now lost almost all of mother nature. Pandora is astonishingly detailed with beautiful flying creatures, colorful flora, and fauna, basically eye-grasping. It makes you rethink all the beauty of nature you have seen to date. Pandora is in no sense a threat to Earth, yet the mean, heartless Colonel of the US Forces attempts to conquer and attack its heart. Pandora is inhabited by the Na’vi, which are beautiful blue-skinned, golden-eyed, slim giants. Just like in Lord of the Rings, this movie has its own language spoken by the inhabitants of Pandora, this language is termed “Na’vi.” The atmosphere in Pandora is unbreathable by the humans without a mask. To successfully attack the heart of the nation, Armed Forces require intel from the inside. Intel such as the strength and weaknesses, the working and way of living of the Na’vi. This was done by scientists who managed to create Na’vi look-alikes called Avatars. Humans drove Avatars by connecting neural impulses of the human to that of the Avatar. Normally speaking, you enter a tube and you wake up in the body of the avatar. Only one person can control a particular avatar. This is where the star of the show, Jake Sully, steps in. He is the twin brother of Tommy, a scientist who worked and trained for his position. On the death of Tommy, the scientists required someone who matched his DNA, to control the Avatar. Thus, Jake Sully filled his shoes.

Jake Sully, who was paraplegic and an ex-marine, resonated with his Avatar and felt liberated to be on his feet again. On exploring Pandora as a soldier, new to the way of living in Pandora, he ended up getting lost in this world full of threatening creatures. A beautiful Na’vi named Neytiri saved his life and introduced him to their people. Jake Sully was recruited to grasp as much knowledge as possible of the Na’vi and their home and report back to the Colonel. He learned that the Na’vi survives by living in peace and harmony with nature and the creatures. He not only fell in love with the way of living, the beauty of Pandora, but also the beautiful Neytiri. Not so surprisingly, he went rogue with his initial allies (the US Armed Forces) and decided to help save the home of the Na’vi.
Generally, films end up deviating from the message, intriguing the audience with a full action-based ending. James Cameron manages to depict this action along with emotion, preserving the message. For a film longer than others, it surprisingly maintains your interest from the very beginning to the end. It depicts the life of Jake Sully as a human and as Na’vi, which keeps you wanting for more of the duel life. This movie is largely CGI yet, Cameron manages to take the audience to this beautiful nation as though it is the very reality.
