Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

In todays movie society, the majority of movies are complicated in story. There is always an underlying theme, a secret villian, or unexpected twist. In 'Avatar,' there is never such a scene or character throughout the whole movie.
The story revolves around marine Jake Sully who is disabled in his legs. His brother was a scientist who worked on an island called Pandora, and had the task of communicating with the Pandorian natives known as the Na'avi. The Na'avi have made their home on top of the planet's most valuable mineral. The humans want to peacefully remove the Na'avi and take the mineral without starting a war. In order to change out of their human form and into Na'avi form, scientists create avatars. Jake's brother had an avatar. However, his unexpected death causes company executives to ask Jake to fill his spot in return for a high salary (which could pay for an operation on his legs). Jake takes his brothers spot and is facinated by his new legs and tail. He is led into the forest by a group of scientists. His task is to befriend the Na'avi and find a way to move them out of their home so that the mineral they came for can be taken. Jake is accepted into the Na'avi and is trained by Neytiri (the daughter of the tribe leader). He and Neytiri fall in love and the rest of the movie explains how Jake saves their home from uter destruction.
There is nothing extremely appealing about this plot on paper, but than again movies aren't shown on paper. "Avatar" shows the viewer more than it tells, and it takes certain skill to be able to do that. That is why James Cameron's 'Avatar' is such a wonderful movie.
The simple love story in association with action, comedy, great graphics, and original lines make an amazing movie. My recommendation, find time and go watch this movie.
