Just bought Avatar DVD, not bad special effects wise, ho hum on the story. The concept was based on computer geek stuff (an Avatar is an alternate personality or alternate you) and was a bit corny.

Question: what if your avatar body is eaten by some hungry animal when you are not projected into it? What, do they hide when you are gone?

As I recall, they simply disappear from the Avatar world when not 'plugged in'.

There was a scene when they were being "chased" by the bulldozer when she (the female alien) had to drag his avatar away from the bulldozer or end up crushed. He "woke up" and was just able to get away. His avatar body still real even though he was out of it.

Well then, beats the shit outta me. Dunno what happens to 'em.

Since you have the DVD, why don't you watch it again and see if they mention what happens. I feel sure they said it somewhere in there. Hmmmmmmm, ya know? Been a long while since I've seen it - first weekend. Not worthy of a second viewing in my eyes.

Yeah, will check it out. And I agree, it wasn't THAT great. An OK movie.

The avatar body is real, a composite of alien and human DNA.

It is simply "empty" when the human is NOT "plugged in".

And what happens to it when a human is not "plugged in?" Who takes care of it or does it just lay empty in the forest?

you're wrong sir...

This is a james cameron flick and brilliant as usual, Alot of political over tones like all his movies but a very well written and told out story.
The avatar was a false body controled similiar to the matrix in order to infiltrate there village in order to get their fingers on what amounts to todays oil.

True - but the question still remains. If the human is not 'plugged in' to the avatar, is the avatar hidden under a bush, in a rock cave, or does it just become a pile of goo in the mysterious land it's located in? The matrix required a telephone to get back to reality through an exit. I don't recall that happening in Avatar.

Come on FREAK - watch the ruddy thing - fast forward if you must - but dang it, answer the question....

The difference being is that unlike when you die in the matrix.. it don't work that way in avatar, If your avatar is killed you simply becom unplugged from the computer whitch allows you to host and control the avatar.
If you're not plugged in however your avatar will just lie dormit in a suspended state..

I re-watched the movie, but as far as I can tell it contains no hint as to what happens to the Avatar body when a human is not projected into it. Have to say that it was a bit more interesting the second time through.

I just finished watching the movie for the second time. I like it. It has a great topic: environmental degradation and the connection with all other living things. I also liked the fact that the bad ass commander was killed by the female Navi in the end. He was a total ass and deserved it royally.

It's quite simple acutually, They're not like smurfs or something..not A sexual, Kinda like regular humans and birds mate for life.
Once the connection is made thru ewah... they essentially become life long mates, Sorta a mixing of the souls in away and once this introduction happens it's the only one they can mate with.
Not really a sexual thing so to speak but more of a commitment ritual.
