Avatar

**Avatar** (2009) was a very popular video. It ranked top/first in U.S. box office that year.

It tells the story of an earthling who went to join a mining operation on a world far from Earth.

Earthlings made a colony in a forest. A space vehicle brought Jake Sully and others to Pandora, a moon that orbits around a planet, near the star Alpha Centauri. After a long trip, he goes to live among the natives, to gather information about them, and report it. The miners want to move the natives so they can perform mining operations to get resources. He feels connected to the natives, and joins their side to prevent the earthlings plan. He sides with them against the earthlings.

## Brief Summary

In the future year 2154, on a distant world, Jake Sully awoke in a pod [for freezing travelers]. After a long trip, he met with the head of security. Jake wheeled his wheelchair to the link unit which joins his mind to a Na'vi-human hybrid called an avatar. Jake pilots it to protect the avatars of 2 scientists, while they collect data.

Suddenly, a dangerous native beast called a thanator attacks Jake's avatar. He leads it away by running into the forest. He runs until a native Na'vi named Neytiri fout it. Flowers float around him ergo she led him to her clan, believing the omen that he is good. She introduces him to the clan and is his guide in the forest. He dweld among the natives.

Later, a bulldozer came to dig, but before it can harm a sacred Na'vi site, Jake wrecks a camera and then breaks the bulldozer. RDA wants to mine there, so they destroy that tree called Hometree. [see battle of Hometree below]. they unlinkd Jake from his avatar and imprisoned him as punishment for interfering. A pilot freed jake and flew him to the remote base where he relinkd to the avatar and warnd the natives of the coming war. [see battle of the Tree of Souls, below]. The miners lose the battle, due to Jake's aid, [is Jake a traitor? you decide]. The natives chose who can stay.

## Detailed Summary

Intro: In the future, during year 2154, near the star Alpha Centauri, Earthlings are trying to get resources on a distant world called Pandora. It is a six-year journey away from Earth, and is the moon that orbits a planet which is a gas-giant. The Avatar Program joins the human mind to a hybrid that can breathe on Pandora. The R.D.A. recruited Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), to replace his brother, who died. Jake was a U.S. Marine. Now he is a paraplegic, paralyzed in both legs, due to wounds sustained in combat.

Story: In a forest, in a space vehicle that landed, Jake Sully awoke from the "travel-freeze." He is in a base that Earthlings made for a colony. his mission is to replace his brother and to dwell among the natives for studying this world. He met with Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang), the head of security.

Jake wheeled his wheelchair to the link unit which joins his mind to a Na'vi-human hybrid called an avatar. Jake pilots it to protect the avatars of Dr. Grace Augustine and another scientist, Norm Spellman, while they collect data.

[... but first i will provide two exciting battles]

```
The Battle at Home-Tree

```

The miners came to destroy Hometree. Mo'at, Neytiri's ma frees Jake and Grace, who were tied to the tree. Toppling the tree causes the death of some Na'vi who stayed, including the clan chief, Neytiri's father. the others resettle by tree of souls.

The RDA detached Jake from his avatar and imprisoned as punishment for interfering. A pilot flew Jake and Grace off the colony toward the remote lab. As she rescues the prisoners, Quaritch fires at them, injuring Grace. They arrive at the lab and link to the avatars.

Jake linkd with a dragon and flew to the sacred Tree of Souls. the survivors from home tree, refugees resettle there.
jake pleads with Mo'at to use her powers to heal Grace. she tryd to transfer Grace from her human body into her avatar, with the aid of the Tree of Souls, but grace died before the process can complete.

the new chief, Tsu'tey, translated Jake's message: gather all the clans, because they will need many troops to battle against the RDA.

RDA forces saw the troop movements gathering from other clans, as Jake advised. Quaritch organized a pre-emptive strike before the natives can attack from the Tree of Souls. That tree grows over the mineral which RDA wants.
that nyt, Jake links to the Tree of Souls and prays to Eywa to save the Na'vi.

```
The Battle at the Tree of Souls

```

The R.D.A.'s huge military fleet escorted Quaritch's lead vehicle. the fleet flew towards the Tree of Souls, to expel the natives. It lands and ground troops flood out. many Na’vi warriors flew/flyd on native banshees with their new leaders Jake and Tsu’tey. the natives attack and destroy some aircraft. the Earthlings quickly gund down the banshees.

Neytiri fell from her banshee and flees the military ground forces. Dr. norm sided with the natives until a zap hit Norm’s avatar, so his mind returnd to his human body. Norm continues to fight against the invaders in his human form. Tsu’tey flew to try attack a shuttle, but got shot. he fell to the forest. Trudy tryd to gard Jake, but zaps kild her. the RDA is winning the battle.

Finally, many of the native Pandoran wild beasts charged at the R.D.A. troops. They hit or trampled the invaders. Neytiri interprets this event as Eywa's answer, to materialize Jake's earlier prayer. Neytiri shot arrows at the invaders while riding a beast. Also flying beasts scatter the invader vehicles and aircraft. Jake flew on a powerful native beast. he destroyd an aircraft before it can drop explosives onto the Tree of Souls. He saved the tree that was precious to Na'vi.

Jake damaged Quaritch’s warplane. After Quaritch ejected from it, wearing an AMP battle suit, the warplane crashd. Q' walkd and saw the box: the remote lab. He enterd and tryd to kill Jake's human body. It was in a link device pod. q' broke it open. the Pandoran atmosphere causd Jake to start suffocating.

Neytiri attackd Quaritch until he killd her beast. While he is busy fighting her, Jake's avatar came to attack. Despite struggling, as his mind is suffocating in his human body, Jake broke the window of q's AMP. q' began suffocating same as q' did to jake.

q' used the AMP suit to grab the throat of Jake's avatar. While Quaritch fout the avatar, Neytiri saved Jake by shooting two arrows thru the broken window, into Quaritch’s chest, killing Quaritch before he can kill Jake's avatar. next, she found Jake's human body, seeing it is suffocating due to the deadly Pandoran air. She also saw jake's avatar collaps. Neytiri understood and put a breathing device on the human, to save Jake's human body.

```
Aftermath

```

Jake and some Earthling scientists can stay. The Na'vi expel all other humans from this world. The Na'vi used the Tree of Souls to insert Jake's mind into his avatar so he won't need his human body anymore. Jake is finally a Na'vi and starts his new life with his wife Neytiri, a female Na'vi.
