Character mistake: In the beginning scene where the shuttle lands on Pandora, as Jake gets on his wheelchair preparing to alight from the shuttle, the man behind him unloading equipment has his exopack mask loose even though he is exposed to Pandora's atmosphere. (00:05:20)

Ending / spoiler
Directed by: James Cameron
Starring: Sigourney Weaver, Giovanni Ribisi, Zoe Saldana, Michelle Rodriguez, Sam Worthington, Stephen Lang, Joel Moore
Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) kills Quaritch and she helps Jake (Sam Worthington) just as he's on the brink of dying after he gets knocked out of the pod where he's linked to his Na'vi body. The military forces go back to Earth and a few trustworthy humans, such as Jake and Norm, stay on Pandora. A ritual at the Tree of Souls is performed and Jake's mind is transferred permanently to his Na'vi body.

Question: There is a scene where Parker is telling Grace that the piece of ore he is holding, called "unobtainium", is why they are on Pandora. This same ore was used in the 2003 movie, "The Core", to build the manned drilling machine to bore through Earth, to the core. Was the use of the same ore name in Avatar, done with permission from the earlier movie? Or was it a mistake?

Chosen answer: The Core didn't originate the name - it's been used since the 50's and even has its own Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unobtainium. There it's described as "any fictional, extremely rare, costly, or impossible material, or (less commonly) device needed to fulfill a given design for a given application."
