"Avatar" Part II Trivia Quiz

Answer: It is situated over a large deposit of unobtanium.

The tree that is used by the Omaticaya clan as their village is standing on top of Pandora's richest deposit of unobtanium, a valuable room-temperature semiconductor. A kilogram of unobtanium sells for $20 million back on Earth, so the RDA will go to any lengths to harvest the precious mineral, and they view the Omaticaya as nothing more than "fly-bitten savages" standing in the way of their bottom line.

After the smoke clears, Hometree has fallen, leaving many dead in its wake, among them Eytukan.

When Jake discovers Neytiri, she is grieving the loss of both her ancestral home and her father. "I'm sorry," he offers, but Neytiri is inconsolable. "Get away," she tells Jake. "Get away from here. Never come back." Jake realizes that he is now an outcast to the Omaticaya.

Answer: She refuses to fire her rockets on Hometree when ordered to do so.

Trudy is assigned to ferry the science team on their sorties around Pandora, which is how she comes to befriend Jake, Grace and Norm. She demonstrates her disapproval of the attack on Hometree by refusing to fire her rockets after the order is given, opting instead to break formation and return to base. Although she cannot do anything to stop the campaign, she decides that she doesn't have to take part in the destruction of Hometree, or stay and watch as it happens. She is also instrumental in helping Jake, Grace and Norm escape after they are locked up by the RDA, and appropriates her Samson gunship to fly them off the base and move their mobile link lab to a safer location deep in the flux vortex near the Tree of Souls. Unfortunately, in the course of the escape, Grace is seriously wounded by Quaritch.

The character of Trudy Chacon is portrayed by Michelle Rodriguez and was reportedly based on a real-life helicopter pilot whom James Cameron met in the Antarctic.

Answer: He will fly directly above it and jump on its back.

Jake learns about the legendary creature from Neytiri. The humans call it the Great Leonopteryx, but the Na'vi refer to it as the Toruk, which means "Last Shadow". Larger and more brightly colored than the Mountain Banshee, the Toruk is a fearsome winged predator. Neytiri tells Jake that there have been only five "Toruk Makto" (riders of Last Shadow) known to the Na'vi, and that her grandfather's grandfather had been one of them. "He was mighty," she tells Jake. "He brought the clans together at a time of great sorrow."

Jake knows that the Omaticaya will trust him again if he can tame a Toruk, and he settles on a simple plan for doing just that. "The way I had it figured, Toruk was the baddest cat in the sky," he reasons. "No one would ever attack him. So why would he ever look up?" Jake's theory proves to be sound, and he manages to bond with a Toruk after steering his trusted banshee directly above it and jumping down onto the Toruk's back. Jake enters the valley of the Tree of Souls, where the Omaticaya have gathered, as the sixth Toruk Makto, and is greeted with awe. Neytiri greets Jake and apologizes for her earlier behavior. "I was afraid, Jake, for my people. I am not anymore," she says. Jake walks up to Tsu'Tey, the new leader of the tribe, and tells him, "I stand before you, ready to serve the Omaticaya people." Jake has finally earned the respect of Tsu'Tey, who tells him, "I will fly with you."

Answer: No

The Na'vi believe in "a network of energy that flows through all living things", and nowhere on Pandora is that network more keenly felt than at the Tree of Souls. The ceremony that Mo'at initiates involves her reciting a mystical chant over Grace's human and avatar bodies at the foot of the Tree of Souls, while all of the Omaticaya sit in concentric circles around them.

The energies of the entire clan are channeled into entreating Eywa, their deity, into sparing the life of the injured and dying Grace. "The Great Mother may choose to save all that she is in this body," Mo'at explains, indicating that if the ceremony works, Grace will be alive in her avatar form. "She must pass through the eye of Eywa." The chanting reaches fever pitch, but once the ritual is over, Grace's avatar body remains still as the bioluminescent light on the ground all around the Tree of Souls gradually dims and fades. Earlier, Jake is taught by Neytiri that "all energy is borrowed, and one day you have to give it back".

The day for Grace to give back her energy has finally come. With her last breath, Grace turns to Jake with her final words. "I'm with her, Jake. She's real," she whispers, before slipping away. "Her wounds were too great," Mo'at explains. "She is with Eywa now."

Answer: That all the Na'vi clans must unite and fight against the Sky People

Like Neytiri's great-great-grandfather before him, Jake fulfils his destiny as the sixth Toruk Makto by uniting the various Na'vi clans at a time of great sorrow against a common enemy - the Sky People or humans. He sends word out to the Horse clan of the plains and to the Ikran clan of the Eastern Sea, telling them that Toruk Makto calls out for them. In total, 15 different clans answer the call, and before long the legion of Na'vi warriors quickly number in the thousands. This is his speech to the Omaticaya, in all of its glory:

"The Sky People have sent us a message. That they can take whatever they want, and no one can stop them. Well, we will send them a message. You ride out as fast as the wind can carry you. You tell the other clans to come. You tell them Toruk Makto calls to them. You fly now, with me, my brothers and sisters. We will show the Sky People that they cannot take whatever they want, and that this ... this is our land."

Answer: The Tree of Souls

Quaritch detects that the Na'vi are accumulating their forces, and fears that they will soon have enough warriors to overwhelm the RDA base on Pandora. He knows that the Na'vi regard the Tree of Souls as their most important connection to their deity, Eywa, and he correctly concludes that the sacred tree would make an ideal target. In a speech to his troops that consists mostly of fear-mongering and manipulation, he convinces them that they should "strike at the heart of the Na'vi" by destroying the Tree of Souls. "We will fight terror with terror!" he proclaims.

Jake learns of the impending attack from Max Patel, a scientist from the RDA base, and starts mapping out his strategy to defend the Tree of Souls with Trudy and Norm. "We're going up against gunships with bows and arrows," Trudy observes, adding that she would prefer not to end up a martyr. Jake responds by saying that they have the advantage, as they are familiar with the terrain, and that the powerful flux vortex will wreak havoc with the RDA's instruments and guidance systems. When it is pointed out that the Na'vi will never recover if Quaritch succeeds in destroying their connection to Eywa, Jake's response is direct and to-the-point. "Well I guess we better stop him," he says.

Answer: Yes

When Jake learns of Quaritch's plan to target the Tree of Souls, he connects his neural queue to the aerial roots of the sacred tree and calls out to Eywa for help. "I'm probably just talking to a tree," he says awkwardly, "but if you're there, I need to give you a heads-up." Jake knows that Eywa stores the collective memories of all of the Na'vi who have died in the past, and he hopes that this extends to avatars. "If Grace is with you, look into her memory. See where we came from. There is no green there. We killed our mother," he tells Eywa. He ends his plea for help with a warning to Eywa: "More Sky People will come, like a rain that never ends." Neytiri overhears Jake's prayer, and tells him, "Our great Eywa does not take sides, Jake. She protects the balance."

During the battle, just when it seems like the Na'vi forces are overrun by the RDA, the tide suddenly turns. Swarms of rider-less banshees suddenly appear and attack the Samson and Scorpion gunships in mid-flight. The soldiers in A.M.P Suits are trampled by a stampede of Hammerhead Titanotheres, and the smaller ground forces are easily picked off by viperwolves. Even the normally ferocious panther-like Thanator walks up tamely to Neytiri, and allows her to ride him after she loses her Ikran. "Jake, Eywa has heard you!" she cries triumphantly. The Omaticaya have a saying, which appears to have come true this day: "Eywa will provide."

Answer: By throwing a grenade in its engine intake duct

In one of the more thrilling scenes in the film's climactic battle sequence, Jake flies over the Valkyrie with his Toruk and lands gracefully on top of the shuttle. Moving swiftly, he neutralizes the RDA troops in the ship's machine gun turret and throws a grenade into an engine intake duct before leaping off the side of the shuttle and onto the back of his Toruk in a perfectly choreographed maneuver.

The explosion sends the shuttle into a downward-angled dive, causing the daisy-cutter explosives to roll back into the ship's cargo bay.

The Valkyrie crashes on the forest floor and explodes in a massive fireball before it can reach the Tree of Souls. Jake then tries to employ a similar tactic with Quaritch's Dragon gunship.

Answer: "I see you."

The Na'vi greeting "Oel ngati kameie" is invariably translated as "I see you", but as Norm Spellman explains to Jake in the film, it means more than simply "I'm seeing you in front of me". The greeting's true meaning might be better understood as "I see into you" or "I understand you". It connotes a level of recognition and acceptance far beyond anything communicated in the mere concept of "seeing". Neytiri can be heard using the greeting on her father, Eytukan, when she brings Jake back to Hometree, and when Jake and Neytiri address each other for the first time after Jake tames the Toruk. However, the most significant use of the phrase occurs near the end of the film, after Quaritch is defeated and the battle for the Tree of Souls is over.

In this scene, Neytiri climbs into the mobile lab and discovers that Jake has been exposed to the toxic Pandoran air and rendered unconscious. She revives him with an Exopack, and as he comes to she says, "I see you." This is the first time that Neytiri has seen Jake in his human form, and yet he is no stranger to her and she knows who he is in that crucial moment. Neytiri's ability to look past Jake's human, and therefore alien, outward appearance in order to recognize the person that she loves on the inside effectively conveys the true meaning of the Na'vi greeting.

Answer: He remains on Pandora, and his consciousness is transferred to his avatar.

Jake decides to remain on Pandora with Neytiri as part of the Omaticaya clan. Among those humans who are also allowed to stay are Norm Spellman and Max Patel, the scientists from the Avatar Program who previously allied themselves with Jake. In his final video log that he records at the now-abandoned RDA base, Jake explains that no matter what happens, he does not intend to return to "this place".

His last words before signing off provide a hint to his destiny: "I guess I better go. I don't want to be late for my own party.

It's my birthday, after all." The scene then shifts to the Tree of Souls, where Mo'at is leading the Omaticaya in a ceremony not unlike the one performed during the failed attempt at saving Grace's life. Thankfully, the outcome of the ceremony is different this time, and Jake's consciousness is successfully transferred from his human body to his avatar body.

The movie ends on a close-up of Jake's avatar as he opens his eyes.
