The Fall, Pantheist Edition.

The innovation of the sequel is to send the first movie's hero, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), who has become one of the forest Na'vi via a mix of science and sorcery, into exile among the ocean Na'vi, to escape the space marines hunting for him and his blue-skinned wife and kids. If I were tasked with making a case for the seriousness of James Cameron's Avatar movies - the second of which, The Way of Water, is making the same endless billions as the first one 13 years ago - I would reach for Lewis and L'Engle. A RECURRING theme in Christian science fiction - explicitly in C. S. Lewis's Space Trilogy, implicitly in Madeleine L'Engle - is the idea that some planets beyond Earth might hold creatures who never experienced the Fall, and that the human state of alienation might not be a universal among creation's sentient species.
