It is the story of a wounded ex-marine, thrust unwillingly into an effort to settle and exploit an exotic planet rich in biodiversity, who eventually crosses over to lead the indigenous race in a battle for survival," and "... creating an entire world, a complete ecosystem of phantasmagorical plants and creatures, and a native people with a rich culture and language." Please join BustAGroove and the Sci-Fi Fanatics Crew for a highly-anticipated IMAX 3-D film that's one of this year's blockbusters reuniting James Cameron (Aliens, Titanic) Sigourney Weaver (Aliens) and James Horner (composer - Aliens, Titantic) - "Avatar". http://livingincinema.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Avatar-Banner.jpg Premise: A 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 and will offer a groundbreaking mix of live-action dramatic performances and computer-generated effects. 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. Trivia: Cameron originally attempted to get this film made in 1999 as his immediate follow-up to Titanic (1997). However, at the time, the special effects he wanted for the movie ran the proposed budget up to $400 million. No studio would fund the film, and it was subsequently shelved for almost ten years. Cast: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez, Giovanni Ribisi, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Peter Mensah, Laz Alonso, Wes Studi, Stephen Lang, Matt Gerald Run Time: 2 hrs. 30 mins (The Dark Knight was 2 hrs. 32 mins) MPAA Rating: PG-13 for intense epic battle sequences and warfare, sensuality, language and some smoking I'll see you at the movies.
