Avatar’s Pandora

On 11.20.09, In Movies, by Roque.

In a galaxy far, far away… (Five light years from Earth, to be precise,) is the planet of Pandora, the setting of James Cameron’s “Avatar” and it’s about to become the giant battleground for an epic war between the native people of the Na’vi and the invading military forces of Earth’s Resources Development Alliance (RDA).

The humans see the Na’vi as ferocious aliens that must be destroyed to save Earth. But to the Na’vi, the humans are aliens destroying their planet and therefore have to fight back to save Pandora. “This has got a love story in it, but it’s not primarily a love story. It’s about a guy finding his place in the world, and his sense of duty.” said Cameron. “But when we got into making it, we found all these little nuanced moments between the two characters. It became a more emotional film. But ultimately, when it’s all said and done, it’s a love story.” he added.

“But I haven’t’ seen a love story like this one before.” commented Zoe Saldana.” (As so will we December 18)

“ They’re soul mates,” she said, “ but also soldiers.”
