Written and directed by Academy Award winner James Cameron, Avatar has been dubbed a “groundbreaking technical achievement in filmmaking” by critics, with an 82% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
“Combining cutting-edge technology with classic, earnest storytelling is firmly the hallmark of this series, and it honestly gave me almost everything I wanted from it,” wrote Ryan Silberstein for MovieJawn.
As the world of Avatar continues to evolve with the release of the second instalment, Avatar: The Way of Water – with several more on the way – we’ve gathered everything you need to know about the sci-fi/adventure, including where to watch it online.
What is Avatar about?
Set on the lush alien world of Pandora, Avatar follows the lives of the Na’vi – beings who appear primitive but are highly evolved.
The planet’s environment is poisonous to humans, however, which creates the need for human/Na’vi hybrids, called Avatars, who must link to human minds to allow for free movement on Pandora.
Jake Sully, a paralysed former Marine, becomes mobile again through an Avatar and falls in love with a Na’vi woman. As a bond with her grows, he is drawn into a battle for the survival of her world.
