All of this against the backdrop of the breathtaking seascapes of Pandora, where audiences are introduced to new Na’vi cultures and a range of exotic sea creatures.

James Cameron’s Academy Award-winning epic adventure “Avatar” returns to Philippine cinemas

Relive the global phenomenon that changed the movie-going experience as James Cameron’s Academy Award®-winning epic adventure “Avatar” returns to Philippine cinemas.  Moviegoers will experience the film like never before as a remastered version in 2D and 3D formats will be available for a limited run.

 

First released in 2009, “Avatar” tells the story of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), an ex-Marine who finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet called ‘Pandora’ filled with exotic life forms in the year 2154. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, he finds himself torn between two worlds, in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of the Na’vi. He meets and falls in love with the Na’vi Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) and opens his eyes to the destruction the humans are wreaking on Pandora, and sides with the Na’vi to protect their world from human hands.

The film successfully transports its audience–then and now–from the darkened theaters to Pandora itself through the use of groundbreaking and innovative motion capture techniques and visual effects that brought the blue world and Na’vi to life in 3D. It’s a truly immersive experience without comparison.
