AVATAR takes us to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on an epic adventure, ultimately fighting to save the alien world he has learned to call home. James Cameron, the Oscar-winning director of “Titanic,” first conceived the film 15 years ago, when the means to realize his vision did not exist yet. Now, after four years of production, AVATAR, a live action film with a new generation of special effects, delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film disappears into the emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story.

We enter the alien world through the eyes of Jake Sully, a former Marine confined to a wheelchair. Despite his broken body, Jake is still a warrior at heart. He is recruited to travel light years to the human outpost on Pandora, where corporations are mining a rare mineral that is the key to solving Earth’s energy crisis. Because the atmosphere of Pandora is toxic, they have created the Avatar Program, in which human “drivers” have their consciousness linked to an avatar, a remotely-controlled biological body that can survive in the lethal air. These avatars are genetically engineered hybrids of human DNA mixed with DNA from the natives of Pandora… the Na’vi.

Reborn in his avatar form, Jake can walk again. He is given a mission to infiltrate the Na’vi who have become a major obstacle to mining the precious ore. But a beautiful Na’vi female, Neytiri, saves Jake’s life, and this changes everything. Jake is taken in by her clan and learns to become one of them, which involves many tests and adventures. As Jake’s relationship with his reluctant teacher Neytiri deepens, he learns to respect the Na’vi way and finally takes his place among them. Soon he will face the ultimate test as he leads them in an epic battle that will decide nothing less than the fate of an entire world. ]]>Thursday 2nd Sep17:00http://www.scalaprestatyn.co.uk/performance.php?section=film&id=114filmThursday 2nd Sep12:30Saturday 4th Sep13:15Sunday 5th Sep13:00http://www.scalaprestatyn.co.uk/performance.php?section=film&id=115filmTuesday 7th Sep20:15http://www.scalaprestatyn.co.uk/performance.php?section=film&id=106filmFriday 3rd Sep20:30Saturday 4th Sep15:3020:30Sunday 5th Sep14:0016:50Monday 6th Sep15:3017:50Tuesday 7th Sep20:30Wednesday 8th Sep20:30Thursday 9th Sep17:50Thursday 2nd Sep13:0015:3018:0020:30http://www.scalaprestatyn.co.uk/performance.php?section=film&id=113film
Star Trek meets Buena Vista Social Club in this psychedelic western musical as Welsh pop legend GRUFF RHYS (Super Furry Animals) takes us on a pan continental road trip in search of his long lost Patagonian uncle, the poncho wearing guitarist RENE GRIFFITHS.

In 1880, following a controversial horse race that led to an unresolved death, Gruff Rhys’ family split as Dafydd Jones took his young family to join the burgeoning Welsh community in Patagonia, South America. There was to be no contact between the families for almost a century when in 1974 Rene Griffiths arrived in Wales with his Latin infused Welsh love songs and became an over night sensation.

Director Dylan Goch follows Gruff Rhys on a tour that takes in the theatres, nightclubs and desert teahouses of Wales, Brazil and the Argentine Andes as he discovers what became of his family, the Welsh Diaspora and its musical legacy.

ONE MORE DATE TBC ]]>Thursday 2nd Sep20:30http://www.scalaprestatyn.co.uk/performance.php?section=film&id=120film
Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) leads a tight-knit band of battle-hardened mercenaries including ex-SAS man Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), close-quarters combat master Yin Yang (Jet Li), weapons specialist Hale Caesar (Terry Crews), demolitions expert Toll Road (Randy Couture) and sniper Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren). When the team embark on a mission to overthrow murderous dictator General Gaza (David Zayas), Barney and Christmas meet their contact, local freedom-fighter Sandra (Giselle Itie). They also learn their true enemy is rogue ex-CIA man James Monroe (Eric Roberts) and his henchman Paine (Steve Austin). When things go terribly wrong, Barney and Christmas are forced to leave Sandra behind, essentially giving her a death sentence. Haunted by this failure, Barney convinces the team to go back - to rescue the hostage, finish the job and maybe even save his soul. ]]>Tuesday 7th Sep18:00Friday 3rd Sep18:0020:20Saturday 4th Sep18:0020:20Sunday 5th Sep17:1519:30Monday 6th Sep15:3018:0020:30Wednesday 8th Sep18:0020:20Thursday 9th Sep18:0020:30http://www.scalaprestatyn.co.uk/performance.php?section=film&id=121filmFriday 3rd Sep18:30Saturday 4th Sep18:30Sunday 5th Sep19:20Monday 6th Sep20:20Wednesday 8th Sep18:30Thursday 9th Sep20:20Tuesday 7th Sep18:15http://www.scalaprestatyn.co.uk/performance.php?section=film&id=116film
