On a planet with lush ecological and called "Pandora", they found ores that can solve the Earth's energy crisis, and created a Namei body that can be controlled by humans - "Avatar", and communicated with the local Namei people.

The plot of "Avatar" is quite simple. It is a process of changing position after a "original invader" falls into the situation of the other party's "invader (indigenous people)" and is also a common theme model in many environmental ecological works. Although it is not a complicated script, "Avatar" has since occupied an important position in the history of world films and is still the first place in the "world's highest box office movie". The creation process of
lasted nearly 15 years
"Avatar" is director of James Cameron . His representative works include " Terminator ", " Alien 2", "Titanic", etc., which are mostly high box office classics; however, as early as 1994, he wrote a script outline of more than 80 pages and announced that he would use a large number of special effects synthesis technology. However, the first finished product produced in 1999 made the director feel "insufficient in technology" and could not present the stories and scenes he wanted to express, so he decided to invest in technical improvement and research and development first.
During this period, the production team hired a doctorate in language to "create" a complete language system from scratch for the indigenous peoples in the movie, and set up two independent art teams, one group is mainly responsible for the design of Pandora Star's flora and animal ecosystems, and the other group is responsible for the creation of robots and human technological elements. More script details were completed in 2006, from "conception" to the real big screen release in 2009, which took nearly 15 years, with a production cost of about US$280 to US$310 million.
technology breakthrough and change Hollywood
film history for the first time, using IMAX and 3D technology to shoot throughout the whole process. In 2022, IMAX and 3D movies are not a strange thing, but watching movies in 3D glasses at that time was very novel for everyone.
In addition, the director pursues the most realistic and smooth synthetic image effects and directly develops a new dynamic capture animation technology. The development time takes 14 months, and he also uses more than 4,000 servers during the production of similar studios, etc. The "persistence" of the
team has promoted many new technologies and created many transformative breakthroughs in film production technology. At that time, media commented that the picture presented all amazing details, such as the dynamics of bubbles, the roaming of space whales, like a series of surprises, the visual adventure experience that is most experienced.
avant-garde concept prophecy "meta-universe"
Avatar, which means "incarnation/censorship". It originally comes from Sanskrit , which refers to the incarnation of Hindu gods when they appear in the form of physical form. In the movie, "Avatar" is a beauty body that has been synthesized by genes and controlled by humans. Humans "put on" Avatar driven by thoughts and enter the Pandora jungle world.
Human beings temporarily leave their own state of reality, enter a "virtual avatar" in a parallel world in the form of thoughts and spirit and live freely. This is the broadest concept of the "metauniverse". It is also a work in the form of "incarnation". After "Avatar", there are "The Number One Player", "Future Men", etc., which has become a category in the "science fiction" series.
At the same time, the background of "Avatar" is to explore "expansionism" and biodiversity , telling the conflict between "nature" and "technological civilization", bringing out reflection on human self-positioning. The director once said in an interview that the story does have some shadows of "Dancing with Wolves".
After "Avatar" set a record, art exhibitions were held around the world, and there may be an Avatar theme park, but the audience kept asking, "When will there be a sequel?" Finally, the production team completed the sequel "Avatar 2: Way of Water" after 13 years of continuous communication and coordination and overcoming difficulties.

The preview trailer has been issued recently, which has become a major topic on the Internet and will be released at the end of the year.
