FEATURE-LENGTH FILM, rated PG-13

Please note: This film will be playing in IMAX 2D

AVATAR takes us to a spectacular new world beyond our imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption, discovery and unexpected love, as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization.

The film was first conceived by Academy Award-Winning Director James Cameron 14 years ago, when the means to realize his vision did not yet exist.  Now, after four years of actual production work, AVATAR delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film, disappears into the emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story.
