The Cameron Collection: Avatar

Join us in the Perpetual Guardian Planetarium for part one of six of The Cameron Collection. Screening on the first Thursday of every month during the exhibition James Cameron – Challenging the Deep.

This month, we are screening the epic science fiction film Avatar.

Set in the mid-22nd century, human beings are colonising a habitable moon within a nearby solar system, in order to mine unobtanium. The mining threatens the indigenous humanoid species, the Na’vi, and we follow a genetically engineered Na’vi body, that is operated remotely by a human, as they interact with the local Na’vi tribe.

One of Cameron’s most well-known films, Avatar quickly became the highest-grossing film of all time. Enjoy the Academy Award-winning cinematography on the dome screen.

Rated M.
Run time 2h 42m.

Tickets are available from Otago Museum Shop or online. Popcorn and drinks will be available for purchase.
