Sigourney Weaver narrates this first look at the world of Pandora, as portrayed in James Cameron's epic new motion picture, Avatar. Opens worldwide December 18.
Interesting thing to note about Pandora, the reason why the creatures on that moon are so huge is because of the lower gravity allowing the creatures' bones and muscles to grow faster.
Not only this. The heavy magnetic field on Pandora and its proximity with a gas giant planet also constantly influences the gravity on Pandora soil and, consequently, the size of animals, plants and the Na’vi
@@indianbot0077 lol true at the end of the day dinosaurs went extinct just because, it’s not like a meteor hit earth and they suddenly disappeared. It took millions of years for them to fully disappear
The real world is just as beautiful- I kayaked at night last summer into a bioluminescent lagoon in Puerto Rico. When you run your hand through the water, microorganisms in the water glow bright blue and outline your hand. It was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced.
The film is a very deeply researched mirror story with it roots within the symbiotic structures of our own world natural world , Cameron is deeply aware of this as it is a core part of his work as an explorer and he takes many examples from living real bioluminescent lifeforms here in earth. why the film resonates internally with so many people is in part due to our bridging awareness ,, there are some deeper layers of indigenous recognition that may be present ,, We know "Jake" Sully but could his name be in part recognition of the life work of Peace maker and leader as well Tree of peace planter "Jake" Swamp (note the number of letters in both names) his history on youtube , (Haudenosaunee nation of peoples) who is the Jigonsaseh ? And by what nickname are the "Erie" indigenous peoples known of as ?
I agree, the REAL world where we live in right now is better, some humans just don't appreciate it yet, but maybe after hundred of years of humanity slowly destroying our earth, and once the climate change hit its focal point, everybody will look back at earth's bio-diversity, vast rain forests, snow capped mountains and its irreplaceable beauty as how we look at pandora's beauty on this video right now.
I love that this "Pandora Documentary" is voiced by Sigourney Weaver, but also "Grace" in the universe of avatar which is making me cry more over way of water and her infatuation with nature and pandora.
You know in a way in some soundtracks of Avatar James Horner did some notes that sound really similar to Prehistoric Park. Specifically with "Bonding with the Leonopteryx" theme.
I want to become a N'vi, and live there too. I cried thru the whole movie, but the part where Jake and Natiri take to the air together on their Banshees for the first time, I bawled like a baby. This is the heavyweight CHAMP of all motion-pictures! And the 3D is breathtaking!
After seeing the bioluminescent forests of Pandora, I became so inspired I decided to have a go at making my own custom glow plants for the home and garden. To achieve this, I decided not to go with the traditional fibre-optic methods and went with a more natural approach using chemicals to try and mimic real-life biology/bioluminescence. I have done some very natural looking leaf/vein patterns, colours and arrangments the last few weeks and am pleasantly surprised by how bright they turned out!
Beyonder Dude really ??? That’s rude keep your words to yourself ! Not everybody believes the same as you but to be rude to somebody else not cool bruh ! Te
What do you see? Pandora is / was a real place, Cameron is the real life version of Quaritch, but here as a movie producer. It was never dreamt up, it was remembered
Pandora was a real place. James Cameron is the real life version of Quaritch in the movie Avatar, but here on Earth today as a film producer. The idea of the movie Avatar was never dreamt up / imagined. The CGI Pandoran Universe is not a fictional realm, created by the mind of James Cameron with the help of an imaginative team of artists, but rather a simulated version of a true, ancient world ..
Proof is impossible for me to provide, however I can provide a great mound of evidence to support the claim that the movie Avatar not only reveals the nature of a once true, ancient world, but also the events that took place on this world. Please note that this is a `loaded subject` and the information required to bring someone to terms with this idea is huge. The `impossible` moon world, Pandora, which orbits a giant gas giant, Polyphemus is not only abundant in life but sustains an indigenous race of humanoids known as the `Na`vi`. Lets first compare this blue aliens` home world with our own. There is of course an immense difference between the dream-like landscapes of Pandora, with its ethereal jungles and vibrant array of life forms and the forest ecosystems, savannah grasslands and deserts of the Earth, all of which appear incredibly drab / life depleted in comparison. However the ancient Earth was once alien to the current world we know today. If one can imagine the largest of the supposed discovered titanosaurs, being as tall as a block flats, roaming Earth`s prehistoric terrain, one should see that our world would have appeared very alien to the world we know today. A world in which dinosaurs, surrounded with pine trees and volcanoes, roamed. However this belief of the prehistoric world is a kind of indoctrination. The world was far more superb in its glory. Mainstream`s teachings in cosmology would have the student believe that life is dependent on the white light, emanating sun. However the Electric Universe proposes that life sustaining worlds orbiting `black star` gas giants are not only possible, but are most probable. Not only does the Electric Universe `theory` explained by The Thunderbolts Project on youtube, suggest that these world orbits are most probable, but the research into the Electric Universe reveals the true ancient past of our own world. A world that has experienced many changes of sky. A world that has once been an orbiting body of different celestial giants, one of which is Saturn, known as the Black Star. Like a black light, saturn emanated an ultra violet light. This etheral light cocooned the Earth, immersed within Saturn`s plasma sheath. Ancient star saturn : saturndeathcult.com/the-sturn-death-cult-part-1/a-timeless-age-in-a-purple-haze/ Electric Universe : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5AUA7XS0TvA.html For many ignorant fans, Polyphemus and all other magical components of the moon world, Pandora, have no relevence to reality, but are fictional ideas, created for the dream-like affect. One only has to set their eyes upon the milky way galaxy, to feel much contrast between our world and the sheer beauty of the stars. The cosmic, life potential, does not create the Amazonian jungles and the Papua New Guinean forests as it worlds` natural terrain, immersed within the spectacular, milky stream of star dust. This left over `algae`, people perceive as this world`s forests are the remains of vegetation, in the remnants of a once immense life abundant paradise, very similar to that of Pandora. The world we call Earth, an anagram of the word heart is a world made up of energy, a world comprised of light and sound waves. Deity is within the entire cosmic consciousness, and our world, much like a photon or an electron can be neither identified as a wave, nor as a particle. In the cosmic scale, our world behaves as a photon / electron. Everything within the cosmos is consciousness, every living thing, a spirit. Ancient man were in direct communication and harmony with mother Earth, just as the Na`vi with Pandora. The Na`vi call the spirit of Pandora, Ewya. The spirit name of Earth is Gaia. Pangea = Pan Gaia. Pan = Flat dish, the flat earth / wave formation perspective. Gea = Gaia. By calling our world Pangea, people immediately assume that one is referring to the ancient world, however the name Pangea, for me, personally, unites our world with the galaxy, on a conscious level. By naming our world Pangea, we perceive Earth as one of many Pangea-like planets. Naming our world Earth, tends to limit our perception of the possible / reality. The ancient Earth is nothing like we have been taught. www.collective-evolution.com/2014/11/17/enormous-footprint-discovered-in-south-africa-did-giants-once-roam-the-earth/ For these colossal sized inhabitants, in comparison with modern man, to have existed, one would believe they would have had to have been surrounded by an alien-like world of giant flora to match. These giants, referenced in the Bible as the Nephilim indicate not only a truly fantasy-like ancient world, but a clear denial of truth, taught via the educational systems. There is as much evidence of giants (fossil bones & remains / footprints) as there is of the dinosaurs. A cover up of Earth`s / Pangea`s ancient past & a cover of cosmological truth. Our world`s forests are no longer with us www.snopes.com/fact-check/ancient-giant-trees/ Please note - I do not believe that `Devils Tower` is a tree stump. However, I do believe that there are true remains of giant, megalithic trees. As I said, this is a loaded subject and it requires me to jump in and out of seemingly unrelated topics, though each are very much connected. The Na`vi, are a feline-like race. Notice the tail, the faint stripes, the cat-like nose, the cat-like eyes etc. The aggressor on Pangea and on Pandora, take on a reptilian form. This is why on one occassion there is a dragon, symbolising the reptilian presence, on one side of the air craft of the RDA, and a tiger, symbolising the Na`vi, on the other. Since this is a huge subject just ask for more info, as I havent even touched the surface, yet look how long this comment is lol .. Truth resonates. Lies do not.
why can't people just get a beer or a drink something to eat a comfy chair or seat and just enjoy a fucking movie the second they see it they have to start hating on it its just pointless just enjoy it as a movie and a cool experience
Depends really. It could be a parallel universe where this is earth and humans live on Pandora. It could be a different planet in a different universe. Maybe in a different galaxy. We never know. It could be on Jupiter or Saturn. We haven’t landed on those so they could be there lying under Saturn’s rings or under Jupiter’s gases. Maybe even Uranus or Neptune could have this life. We never know. Thank you for reading this and listening to what I’m saying. I hope you have a great day.
Ah yes hello, fellow person who first watched it in 2020, I did 4 days ago and have watched it 7 times because I got Avatar Blues, and am going to do it again now.
@@theogov688 Some people don't have access to popular movies, i.e. Avatar. The only thing I knew about Avatar before I watched it was that there were blue aliens with bows and arrows fighting us. Plenty of people don't know about the MCU, Star Wars, or LotR. Some people just haven't been exposed to content from it.
I know, this is only a work of fiction and I've seen this particular video many times back in 2010, … but when Dr. Augustine says "These rainforests are similar to those that ONCE COVERED the Amazon basin.", it brings tears to my eyes. 😭 While it is highly unlikely that humans will ever set foot on another garden world, that statement is very likely to become a grave truth.
amazing, I really love when directors give out these promotional vid detailing the worlds they create, supplement that with a little science and its makes that even more awesome, not to mention when you have Sigourney Weaver doing the narration
Still remember watching those sequences in the theater 13 years ago and I did not watch it the second time ever anywhere because of the possible quality drop in small screen. Can't believe I am going to watch it again in IMAX 3D in 2022 to catch up before the part 2. Avatar franchise is history in making. Leaving a comment just to be part of this history on a video which was uploaded a week before the release of part 1 13 years ago. Feels incredible. We only have a limited time on this planet and so try to make it the best.
13 year's later, this video popped up in my recommendation thanks to youtube algorithm. After having seen the sequel, all I can say that it was definitely worth the wait. Couldn't be more happier.
Avatar gets a lot of flack for having a cliche plot and I can agree that the story line is not new or unique. But it's still one of my favorite movies of all time just because of the thought, beauty, and creativity put into the planet. As a Biologist, I love how much science there is to the biology of Pandora and it makes the movie so much fun for me to watch. It's not unlike Earth and it's such a shame people don't appreciate how much beauty we have here (which we're steadily destroying).
The movie takes place in 2154 , there’s a deleted scene showing Earth. Basically all animals and plants have been wiped out.Jake sees a news report about the first successful cloning of a tiger. Also everyone wears gas masks outside because the air has too much CO2
I wasn't a huge fan of Avatar's plot and of the old "humans are evil" theme, but as far as worldbuilding and sci-fi hardness goes, I'll have to concede that this is the best sci-fi movie that the west has produced in the last four decades. Everything in the movie world is well thought out and obeys the laws of physics. I would give anything to have a movie in the same world, but with a more optimistic theme and plot like in star trek. I hope James Cameron uses the opportunity given to him by the sequels to produce something with a more interesting plot. For example, more human factions than just RDA(the corporation in the movie). And also more complex interactions between the different Na'vi tribes.
Thomas Gaskas That much is obvious. But when every damn movie does that it only feels lazy and not particularly creative. Specifically, I'd like a movie that sets a positive example of what a high tech society *should* look like, rather than being lectured on the evils of our current society. People can understand these by themselves very well, thankyouverymuch. The only thing a chain of dystopian sci-fi movies will realistically do is make people anti-science and paranoid about any technological advancement or change. The message in Nolan's movie was *far* more insightful than the one in Avatar or Elysium: _"We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars, now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt."_
Thomas Gaskas Yes, do keep on explaining the obvious in every movie's message. The difference between interstellar and the other movies I quoted is that the protagonists actually _do_ something about the hardships they face, and eventually solve their problems with technology by moving out into O'Neill cylinders such as the Cooper station we see at the end. The movie ends with an optimistic view of human expansion into space. Also, to correct a misunderstanding you seem to have, it wasn't the humans that ruined Earth in interstellar, but the bacterial blight: interstellarfilm.wikia.com/wiki/The_Blight The early part of the movie was a criticism of the whole ecowarrior ideology that if we somehow reduce our consumption to pre-industrial levels, the Earth will somehow turn into a sentient deity and protect us. The universe is completely indifferent to human survival. If we want to guarantee our survival, we need to actively develop the technology to build self-sufficient biospheres from scratch, rather than passively expecting Earth to support us.
An additional comment on interstellar: The blight in the movie is not without historical precedent. The oxygen catastrophe 2.3 billion years wiped out 99% of all life on Earth, because the first photosynthesizing organisms showed up and filled out atmosphere with the incredibly aggressive gas we call oxygen. This could happen again. If microbes suddenly showed up that converted our atmosphere into say, nitrogen tetroxide, the current life on Earth would not stand much of a chance.
hey bub I see your wanting to go to but do you know if the place has life on it just like in the movie cause I'm trying to fine out for sure if it is if so i saving whatever to go
Riley brown_for the soul HAHA!! Also how the heck, i just commented this. Thats amazing! Im finding the movie avatar right now cause im really interested in it
Riley brown_for the soul Is it? Im always on RU-vid too cause theres nothing else to do. I don’t really care for tiktok or netflix or anything else really.
I would watch an planet earth style doc about Pandora for hours. Just going into the daily lives of the various species & how the ecosystem works. More points if David Attenborough narrates it
@ThePantyDroper Here in rural VN is very beautiful. Colorful chickens running around, bamboo forests, and beautiful birds. Sunrises with dew and brilliant sunsets. Nights full of stars. Even big dirty cities like Bangkok Thailand have awesome birds like GaoWao. Nothing in Avatar sounds better than those birds. That city has beautiful temples that shine during sunrises. Earth's beauty is different than Pandora but Earth has a lot. Just carefully and you guys can find it everywhere!
星凤星凤 I absolutely agree with you. People never look at the Earth’s beauty. Then when a movie like this is released their all like “damn I wish I was their, earth is ugly”.
I'm a movie lover and this is by far the most revolutianizing movie in history. It's original and breathtakingly beautiful. It is a masterpeice that I can't stop having dreams about at night.
Actually the Hammerhead Titanaferus are herbivore's since that youngster ran to it's herd for protection from Pandora's Fearsome predator the Thanotor.
Also, have you seen some of the shit this planet is trying to throw at us? If one of those Na'vi could breathe oxygen and came down here, hed probably catch a cold in the first few minutes and die. From a fucking cold. And that's just bacteria. I've always held the belief that insects are complete fucking endgame, simply because of bees. That level of shared intelligence and society is only found in other hive-minded insects and us. And believe me, they are much better at that. The only thing stopping bees, or really, any hive mind inscet from taking over is true sentience, and by then? were fucked.
I don't think they modelled the whole thing up, some other scenes were shot where they had to put trees, sand n all dat in the studio then added some more in CGI... If people wanted to commit suicide just seeing Pandora on TV, i guess they would die to see it in virtual reality,
@@mariooli9268 In AVATAR 2, the audiences expect to see how humans travel from Earth to Pandora by the distance of 4.37 light-years with addition to smartphones and internet and bitcoin in social media.
The first one was the exploration of new world, the excitement of what the PANDORA will looks like, plants, organisms etc. I hope the new one will bring some more exciting event.
+Gheorg Athanasov Oh yeah I know, kinda stupid of me that I didn't mention it. I actually own the game for PS3, but it really isn't the same quality as the movie, at least, not for me.
+Stijn P. They can't get the same quality because its animated rather then performance capture. In performance capture they got all the details form the actors actual face.
poppy williams Yeah, I get that, obviously graphics can never be what they're like in an animated, rendered movie. But...I was talking gameplay. What if you could actually maintain your own colony of Na'Vi and fly around on your own raptor...defend yourself from the humans
I saw the film on Singapore Orcharde IMAX 4D. Adjectives that come to mind as to the visuals in this film are stunning, incredible, mind blowing and groundbreaking. Scenes seem so real and not at all like CG
Pandora is great not because of its beauty but the connection between the planet and all living things in that. It is the most wonderful thing that we humans can only imagine. Thanks to cameron ❤
This video rocks! I love the intepretation of the Gaia theory implanted in the Pandora world - everything biological is connected through a neural system. It gives life somekind of meaning, and it would feel good to know that there's a life after death. I guess that is why i want this world to be real! :P
Living information is energy that uses the intellect merely as a conduit, passing thru it with its goal being the heart centre. Some people have complained that the story of Avatar is 'too simple' but Cameron made it like this so that no-one had to struggle with complexities causing it to get stuck on the way thru..and so that children could enjoy it too. This was not weakness on his part as a writer. He could have hired other writers with that huge budget, but the story works as it is meant to.
There is literally zero reasons to hate on this movie. The only bad parts of this franchise are due to toxic fans or haters. Not even anything to do with the actual movie itself.
The movie blew me away. I wasn't expecting it to be anything like it was! Now all I can think of is that there has to be so much backstory. This is an epic fantasy on the level of Star Trek or The Lion King. The movie could have been three times longer and it would it would only have made it more engrossing! Right now I'm looking for fan sites. Anyone know any? I might make a fanart site myself. This movie is a work of art and that's an understatement! I hope it gets the recognition it deserves!
