There is no denying the masterpiece of Avatar, the 20th Century Fox film directed by James Cameron who also directed Titanic. If you want to experience 3D on Blu-ray, this creative and imaginative film will transport you with its special effects and storytelling. This film takes place on the moon Pandora with Na’vi, which are highly-functioning aliens. However, their environment is now poisonous, so the Na’vi need to enlist the help of humans to stay alive. A hesitant hero, Jake Sully, decides to help their civilization by linking his mind to a Na’vi. Jake is paralyzed, so this mind-linking allows him to regain freedom and movement in a foreign world.
