Avatar (2009) is the first in what may be several movies that combine James Cameron's passions with a little Pocahontas and big action! Jake Sully is a Human soldier who is trained to take over when his brother dies to drive a Na'vi body and represent Human interests on a moon of planet Pandora. The humans are there primarily to get Unobtainium from under the spiritual center (a titanic tree) at any cost. There, he meets Neytiri, a large blue catlike humanoid who earns his trust and love. Together, they rally the other aliens and assorted creatures to fight for their world and drive the Humans back in this science fiction action drama! Can Jake rally and fight, gain love, and be a hero? Watch and be amazed.
It is a good movie it has geography in this movie and good for the kids it is awesome

Trivia: During the final battle, Lyle Wainfleet's AMP Suit gets knocked down and crushed by a charging Hammerhead Titanothere. Wainfleet utters a Wilhelm scream just before he's crushed. (02:21:05)
Question: There is a scene where Parker is telling Grace that the piece of ore he is holding, called "unobtainium", is why they are on Pandora. This same ore was used in the 2003 movie, "The Core", to build the manned drilling machine to bore through Earth, to the core. Was the use of the same ore name in Avatar, done with permission from the earlier movie? Or was it a mistake?

Chosen answer: The Core didn't originate the name - it's been used since the 50's and even has its own Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unobtainium. There it's described as "any fictional, extremely rare, costly, or impossible material, or (less commonly) device needed to fulfill a given design for a given application."
