The Last Airbender is a 2010 American fantasy adventure film
written, produced, and directed by M. Night Shyamalan. It is based on the first season of the
Nickelodeon animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. The film stars Noah
Ringer as Aang, with Dev Patel as Prince Zuko, Nicola Peltz as Katara, and
Jackson Rathbone as Sokka.
Development for the film began in 2007. It was produced by
Nickelodeon Movies and distributed by Paramount Pictures.[8] Premiering in New
York City on June 30, 2010, it opened in the United States the following day,
grossing an estimated $16 million.
The film was met with an overwhelmingly negative critical
reception. Many reviewers cited inconsistencies within the plot and between the
screenplay and the source material, as well as the acting, writing and casting.
The film swept the Golden Raspberry Awards in 2010, with five wins including
Worst Picture and has been considered to be one of the worst films ever made.
Despite negative reviews, The Last Airbender opened in
second place at the box office behind The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Produced on a
$150 million budget, the film grossed $131 million domestically and $319
million worldwide.
