Sorrow and Repentance in Digital 3D
With spectacular effects that transport audiences to the world of its characters, Avatar leads us to encounter our social and national trespasses in ways we’re often unable — or unwilling — to do in everyday life.
Avatar’s Virtual Truth
If you haven’t heard about James Cameron’s Avatar by now, you must be living in some virtual world far removed from this planet. For better or worse, it has been one of the most hyped movies of the year. And the hype might actually be justified. The film transports viewers into another world, but it brings up very important questions about our own in the process.
Avatar: Virtual Reality Filled with Sobering Truth
If you haven’t heard about James Cameron’s Avatar by now, you must be living in some virtual world far removed from this planet. For better or worse, it has been one of the most hyped movies of the year. And the hype might actually be justified. The film transports viewers into another world, but it brings up very important questions about our own in the process.

His latest science-fiction epic is practically a mirror to the history of humankind’s greed and its destructive results.
