ReviewsThe Hollywood Reporter - A fully believable, flesh-and-blood (albeit not human flesh and blood) romance is the beating heart of AVATAR. Cameron has never made a movie just to show off visual pyrotechnics: Every bit of technology in AVATAR serves the greater purpose of a deeply felt love story., Empire - A transcendent, full-on five-star experience that's the closest we'll ever come to setting foot on a strange new world., Chicago Sun-Times - Once again, [Cameron] has silenced the doubters by simply delivering an extraordinary film., Los Angeles Times - AVATAR's shock and awe demand to be seen. You've never experienced anything like it, and neither has anyone else., Time Magazine - Embrace the movie -- surely the most vivid and persuasive creation of a fantasy world ever seen in the history of moving pictures -- as a total sensory, sensuous, sensual experience., San Francisco Chronicle - Vast, beautiful and meticulously detailed.

Additional InformationA paraplegic ex-marine war veteran is unwillingly sent to establish a human settlement on the distant planet of Pandora, only to find himself battling humankind alongside the planet's indigenous Na'vi race in this ambitious digital 3-D sci-fi epic from Academy Award-winning TITANIC director James Cameron. The film, which marks Cameron's first dramatic feature since 1997's Titanic, will be shot on the proprietary FUSION digital 3-D cameras developed by Cameron in collaboration with Vince Pace, and will offer a groundbreaking mix of live-action dramatic performances and computer-generated effects. Australian actor Sam Worthington stars as the reluctant human settler, Jake Sully, with actress Zoe Saldana signing on to portray the local woman who enters into a romantic affair with the hero. The revolutionary motion-capture system created for the film allows the facial expressions of actors to be captured as a virtual camera system enables them to see what their computer-generated counterparts will be seeing in the film, and Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning Weta Digital visual-effects house has been hired to supervise AVATAR's complex visual effects. Joel Moore, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, and Michelle Rodriguez round out the cast.
