I cannot believe people thought it was based on some real case. It tells you in the credits it isn't remotely based on anything. All the filmmaker did was look at information on the general topic. He filmed it entirely in one week with a budget of $15,000. He interviewed quite a number of people and picked the two main actors because they seem to gel. He stated they were like they had always been friends and the guy, Micah which is his real name had cameraman experience.



The whole thing was unscripted just like Blair Witch. He did a good job considering it was filmed in his own home. I guess he did some addtions in his house for things he wanted to show in the film, like the way the staircase looked.



This movie was actually finished a few years ago and has been shown at film festivals and around. It has had three endings. I saw the original as I mentioned in another post but two of my daughters saw the theatrical ending since they went to the theater and I watched it online. Then he had another ending he showed only once. This film circulated awhile and Steven Spielberg got ahold of it and that is how it ended up in the theaters over time. When screeing it people walked out of the theater. At first they thought they didn't like it but found out that they were either too scared or totally creeped out. IT IS ALL FICTION FOLKS, lol. None of it is based on anything at all. It was all made up...just a story. It was ok but for me nothing to write home about.

I hope this doesn't disappoint me like so many other movies I have watched. This looks to be absolutely awesome.

The story’s protagonist, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), is a former Marine who was wounded and paralyzed from the waist down in combat on Earth. Jake is selected to participate in the Avatar program, which will enable him to walk. Jake travels to Pandora, a lush jungle-covered extraterrestrial moon filled with incredible life forms, some beautiful, many terrifying. Pandora is also home to the Na’vi, a sentient humanoid race, who are considered primitive, yet are more physically capable than humans. Standing three meters tall (approximately 10 feet), with tails and sparkling blue skin, the Na’vi live in harmony with their unspoiled world. As humans encroach deeper into Pandora's forests in search of valuable minerals, the Na’vi unleash their formidable warrior abilities to defend their threatened existence.



Jake has unwittingly been recruited to become part of this encroachment. Since humans are unable to breathe the air on Pandora, they have created genetically-bred human-Na’vi hybrids known as Avatars. On Pandora, through his Avatar body, Jake can be whole once again. Sent deep into Pandora's jungles as a scout for the soldiers that will follow, Jake encounters many of Pandora's beauties and dangers. There he meets a young Na’vi female, Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña).



Over time, Jake integrates himself into the Na'vi clan, and begins to fall in love with Neytiri. As a result, Jake finds himself caught between the military-industrial forces of Earth and the Na’vi, forcing him to choose sides in an epic battle that will decide the fate of an entire world.
