Here's a refresher on James Cameron's 'Avatar' before you watch the upcoming sequel
. Mankind has decided to colonize a moon far out in space called Pandora.
The earthlings are taking a two-pronged approach to dealing with the native Na’vi. The scientists, led by Sigourney Weaver’s Grace, want to learn to communicate and cooperate with them. Several scientists have trained for years to operate genetically engineered Na’vi forms, a.k.a. avatars, to walk around Pandora without oxygen masks while their human bodies hang out on a remote ship. Meanwhile, a company called R.D.A. just wants to blow everything up to get the oil—er, I mean, unobtanium.
Anyway, Quaritch gets sick of waiting. He destroys a big tree that serves as home to the Na’vi people in his mining expedition. It’s a bloodbath: Grace dies; Neytiri’s father, the leader of the Na’vi, dies. Jake earns the trust of the Na’vi by jumping on a big bird that no one else has been able to jump on. Does this edge into a white savior narrative? Absolutely.
The tech was also, crucially, used in service of the story. Cameron is a master of worldbuilding, and unlike most of the planets produced in variousand Marvel sequels, Pandora feels like a lived-in space with its own ecosystem, flora and fauna, and a fully-realized look.What is the sequel about?
