Avatar (2009) starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez. Written and directed by James Cameron. Evil, corporate humans and their military minions try to destroy the natives on the alien moon Pandora -- all to get at a big deposit of a valuable mineral called unobtanium. A human wearing an alien body (Worthington) turns out to be the fly in the ointment when he falls in love with the Na'vi people and with one female named Neytiri (Saldana) in particular. There are many elements in Avatar that are derivative, but it's still a big thrill-ride of a movie, and I can only imagine what it must have been like to see it in 3D. The special effects are phenomenal. The subtitles are excellent. Grade: A-
