Answer: Avatar

Cameron got his start making his own amateur films, and his first professional movie job was for Roger Corman, making minatures, designing sets, and doing everything else he could.

"Avatar" (2009) is the story of an alien tribe on a distant planet and the human who joins them in their fight against an Earth corporation trying to eliminate them. The plot of the movie, however, takes a back seat to the technology used to create the 3-D computer generated effects and how 3-D is used not as a gimmick, but as a new language of film making.
