Answer 1

It was about this guy named Jake sully played by Sam Worthington that goes to Pandora as an avatar to meet with the Na'vi people. He finds Neytiri the princess of the Omyticaya people played by Zoe Saldana. She does not like him at first, but then seeds of the sacred tree touch him. Eywa the Na'vi's goddess controls everthing. Neytiri takes Jake to Hometree where he meets her father, Etyukan and her mother Mo'at. Mo'at tells Neytiri to teach Jake how to be an Omyticaya. He goes through languages, learing how to hunt, jump and use his queue which has T'sahaulyu on it which looks like a braid that attaches to everything. Jake learns how to ride a Banshee which Neytiri's is named Seze. While riding a giant firey colored banshee attacks them. Neytiri later tells Jake that that was Toruk "last shadow" Banshee are your owners if they try to kill you. Banshees are also called Ikrans. Only gifted people are able to ride Toruk. Jake becomes an offical Omyticaya and has a ceromony. He and Neytiri go to the tree of voices. They mate with each other by joining braids, kissing, moaning, and touching. The next day, Neytiri wakes up because a tractor tears up the tree and Jake is not able to wake up because he is not in the avatar machine. Neytiri screams and yells and finally he wakes up destroying the cameras. Quaritch his boss finds this video and decides to destroy hometree. Neytiri and Jake find there way back finally telling that they are mated for life and married. Tsu'tey an omyticaya tries to kill Jake after Quaritch finds the machine hideout and press a button that causes the avatar in the machine to black out and wake up in their human form. Neytiri stops him by flipping him over and threating him with a knife. Later, Jake wakes up and tries to explain that Quaritch's army is coming to destroy Hometree and he knew that this would happen all along. Neytiri yells and screams at him thinking she could trust him. Every doesn't believe him, so they tie him up and try to fight them off. They don't succed and Hometree is destroyed. Neytiri's father is killed with Jake trying to comfort her, but she screams at him telling him to never come back. Jake's avatar is then blacked out again with him getting out of the machine in traumatization. He and his friends are put in captivity, but Trudy comes to rescue them. His friend Grace is shot during this attempt. They get into the machines and Jake is able to ride Toruk. He rides to the tree of souls where he finds the clan praying. They are shocked and Neytiri says I see you. Jake says I see you. Tsu'tey becomes his brother and they get Grace at night time to bring her soul into her avatar body forever with the help of Eywa. They preform the ritual, but Grace dies. Jake makes a speech and they ride to different clans to prepare for a war. The war follows and Seze, Neytiri's Banshee is killed. Tsu'Tey is killed by being shot by army men. Jake shoots bombs in Quaritch's air craft, but he escapes. Neytiri attacks him, but her animal is killed on top of her, not allowing her to escape. She hisses at him. Jake comes and has a fight with Quaritch that is near his avatar machine. Quaritch busts open a window exposing Pandora's atmosphere to Jake machine causing him to have minor black outs. When Quaritch is about to kill Jake with his knife causing him to hiss, Neytiri gets out her bow and arrow and shoots 2 arrows in Quaritch's chest. Jake wakes up out of his machine unable to breath. He tries to reach for his breathing mask, but can't. I forgot to mention he is a parapaligic, but not in avatar form. Neytiri saves Jake by putting the mask on reviving him and seeing him for the first time in human form. They both say I see you to each other. The clan then Preforms the ritual that successfully turns Jake into a Na'vi forever. End Credits.
