Mutant smurfs bloody love tree. Angry man smashes tree all up. Nice man turns into angry smurf and spends an hour or so mucking about in a really cool looking videogame. Everyone has a big fight and goes home. Features ‘unobtainium’ which, get this, is hard to obtain.
Trivia
Over thirty million gallons of blue paint was used to create the Na’vi.
Pandora is based on a nice park in Hull that James Cameron visited whilst looking for a post-apocalyptic wasteland in which to film the opening scenes of Terminator 2.
Sam Worthington has kept the tail he grew for Avatar and keeps it rolled up in his pocket.
Avatar 2 took thirteen years to complete because James Cameron is a lazy, lazy man.
Bloopers
In the film the Na’vi word ‘tawtute’ is said to mean human, but in the real Na’vi language it actually means ‘floating horse.’
Despite the film being set entirely on Pandora, in the scene where Jake first encounters the thantor the A-12 Chelmsford bypass can clearly be seen in the background.
