Avatar is a 2009 sci-fi film directed by James Cameron. It takes place in the 22nd century on Pandora, a moon populated by a race of aliens called Na’vi. People have created avatars, artificial bodies that look like the Na’vi people, to be able to explore Pandora. The only difference between the avatars and the Na’vi is that avatars have five fingers and eyebrows, but the Na’vi have only four fingers.

Avatar is most famous for its innovative use of CGI (computer-generated imagery) that makes up sixty per cent of the whole film and allows it to have very realistic aliens in it. Cameron wanted to create this film much earlier, but he was waiting for the technology to get better. As a result of his effort, Avatar has won three Academy Awards out of nine that it was nominated for and is the highest-grossing film ever.
