SALLY SALIA: HOLIDAY FILMS, PART TWO

Here's the second of Sally Salia's 3-part series on the films she's most anticipating this holiday season.  This time, it's:

AVATAR

For all the sci-fi fans out there, Avatar is the perfect movie to enjoy over the holiday season. First, lets clarify that Avatar is not based or related to the cartoon series Avatar: The Last Airbender in any way. On December 18th, the movie will hit theatres. The movie is about a former Marine, Jake Sully, now paralyzed below the waist, who joins an expedition to a distant moon, Pandora, which is the habitat of the Na’vi. He undergoes a transformation into the physical form of the Na’vi, but with the thoughts and feelings of a human being. He must persuade them to join and help the mine, but as he gets closer to the Na’vi and his relationship with one of the woman, Neytiri, deepens, he is faced with a decision that could alter the fate of an entire world.
