Avatar (2009)
After Avatar dominated the worldwide box office, I’m pretty sure almost everyone wished they could live on the moon Pandora. This blockbuster not only made over $2.5 billion since its release but was also raved by the critics and received three Academy Awards. Jake Sully is a paraplegic, ex-marine who has the opportunity to get his legs and life back when he is given a mission in the futuristic world. After creating his avatar, he becomes immersed in Pandora, caring deeply for it and its people. When he falls in love with a Pandora native, he begins to realize the destruction Pandora is facing due to the people he is working for. Teaming with the natives and rouge soldiers – including Trudy Chacon played by Michelle Rodriguez – they join a war against everything he has ever believed in for his newfound realization. With mind-blowing special effects, this film takes you on a journey to an incredible land you wished existed.
