Sci-Fi meets Fantasy in this visual feast which will amaze even the most seasoned of movie goers. The amount of colour and detail that went into the digital world of Pandora is truly astounding!

The story is about a paraplegic marine (Jake) who is able to take control of an Avatar through nervous system interaction. In his “new” body he is able to walk and run around freely. His mission however is to infiltrate a local native tribe (The Na’vi) on Pandora and negotiate mining rights to a valuable mineral on the planet.

He falls in love with the the tribe, their way of life and inevitably the main female character (Neytiri). The mining company’s greed and the Na’vi’s refusal to surrender their homeland spark a war and Jake gets caught up trying to salvage the situation.

As previously mentioned, this movie is simply beautiful. There is very little violence or themes of an adult nature and I noticed many younger children in the audience. Maybe a little long for the younger crowd, but I would highly recommend it as a must see.

PEVibe score: 8.5/10
