James Cameroon’s “Avatar” is not simply a sensational entertainment; it is a technical breakthrough. …\
The story unfolds sometime around 2154 when the earth is on the threshold of ecological doom. The only solution is a mineral called Unobtainium, found in abundance in Pandora. To get this mineral, the US Armed Forces’ scientific team works towards creating humanoids (human beings whose DNAs are manipulated to make them hybrids) that resemble the Na’vis—pale blue creatures with thin, elongated bodies, wide-set eyes and a flat nose and let them loose in Na’vi land, to persuade the natives to leave their land. The film takes us deep into Pandora with Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a former marine who is crippled by war. As Cameron surges through the creeks, plateaus, fuming water streams and twinkling bushes with Jake, the film gathers momentum and ends in a catastrophic, morally loaded end.
