If you're bored of the same things and scenarios again and again you'll find freedom in this movie treasure. It also indicates that the movie is still the most successful movie in the history of cinematography. Despite the fact that it's 13 years old, no other film has ever overtook The Avatar.

Story begins with the death of the twin brother of Jake Sully in 2154. Because of this unexpected thing Jake has to take the place of his brother in a job for a mining company (RDA) on planet Pandora. He is very required from them, because his brother was in a project called Avatar, a project where a hybrid body of a native person from Pandora (the Na'vi) was created and later used by a trained person for a diplomatic solutions with the Na'vis and to talk with Na'vis in order of peace. The body more specifically was created from a mix of Na'vi DNA and human DNA and that's why RDA needed Jake, because he has the same DNA as his brother so he can control his brother's avatar which wasn't really cheap to make.

For Jake opens a whole new world, not just new planet Pandora, but more importantly he can walk again after many years when he was on a wheelchair because he lost control of his legs after an injury in Marine military service. On the other hand the rest of the crew from project Avatar isn't really enthusiastic about him joining, because unlike the others he has no training at all and that's a good reason to be angry, because others had to train and study for more than 3 years and he's just some stupid written off marine.

This fact reveals a lot in his first mission where he accidentally splits off from others and get lost in the deadly forest of Pandora. Others don't give him much chances of surviving night out there and he barely holds on in the start of the night when gets almost killed by a huge scary creature, but everything in his future changes when he's saved by a female Na'vi called Neytiri. She is convinced that he was chosen by Eywa (basically the same sacred thing as Force in Star Wars) and she brings him to Na'vi village where her father, a tribe chief, and her mother, the spiritual leader, decide to teach him Na'vis habits.

In 3 months of hard training Jake is accepted as on of the Na'vi people and fall in love with Neytiri. He start to struggle to choose a side, human or Na'vi. All of this leads to an epic finale and decision that you can't just describe.

I must also say that the movie has nor just awesome storytelling but stunning graphics, perfectionism and worldbuilding as well, all thanks to the director and writer in one person. James Cameron, you did a great job!
