I hope this is not a surprise to anyone.
I don’t agree with the whole “white” argument here. The movie was about as anti-America, and anti-Bush as you could get. Visually impressive for sure, and fun as long as you didn’t care about the whole plot and dialog. I openly laughed at several lines because they were so blatant. It was a fun movie and I definitely talked to my kids about it before & after we saw it.
I recently saw a promo for this crapfest on TV. It is an anti-capitalist screed. It is slickly packaged anti-capitalist and anti-industrial poop.
Haven’t seen it so I can’t poo-poo it. A review I read likened it to a “Sci-fi Dances with Wolves” where the soldier goes native.
Yeah, but the actors are only slightly more animated than Kevin Costner.
Sci-Fi ping.
Having been a long-time fan of James Cameron, his infantile perception of the Military and Industrialization has the naivety of a ten-year-old girl (apologies to intelligent 10-year-old girls everywhere).
Technically, the movie is flawless. Cameron & his team put forth considerable effort in realizing a technical marvel of movie-making.
Unfortunately, he did not spend very much effort in story, plot, pacing, dialogue, and character development. James Horner's music score was 'phoned in' and Cameron's amateurish direction of the military characters is laughable.
In summary, New Line Pictures gave $300 million to Peter Jackson who gave us 9 hours of 'Lord of the Rings'. In the context of ROI, New Line invested very wisely while 20th Century Fox did not. In the context of repeat-viewings, Jackson gave us our money's worth while Cameron did not.
'Avatar' is emotionally top-heavy, intellectually void and won't match "Titanic's" success.
The greedy corporate interests mining the planet included characters who were white and non-white humans. The creepy comment regarding race had to do with 'human' race not white. The indigenous people of the planet worshiped the nature around them and the planet as their deity... much like Al Gore LOL! BUT also like many primitive cultures on this planet have done. This is a work of complete fiction. It was very interesting to watch the animation and 3-D technology.
If this was trying to indoctrinate someone - it did a poor job of it. Avatar is not a 'deep' movie and no contender against the likes of Tolkien. Avatar is enjoyable escapist fiction.
Oh, and I agree with a critic’s published negative assessment: “Avatar is the World’s Most Expensive PC Screensaver.”
Evil white men.

The Marines.
Business.
The West.
Good little noble naked blue savages.
Sounds like Copenhagen. Or Washington DC.
Hehehe my sentiments exactly. Hollywood has gotten paid for me to watch a release in a theater twice in my life, and I didn’t personally pay either time. The last time was over ten years ago. That’s my personal commitment to not supporting them. Same for television. My life is perfect enjoyable without having watched anything but TCM for years. I’m ready to get rid of the TV altogether now because even TCM is flaunting its bias in less and less subtle ways. Not to mention they’re showing too much crud from the late 60s, the 70s, and beyond. I don’t care how they try to spin it, those are NOT the era of classic film.
Its definitely a paen to white libs, call it liberal’s white supremacy. This anti-white shtick has become a self parody though, that frankly won’t last long. Out in the world this self-flaggelation will look to be silly self congratulating and little else.
Are we to defend and emulate such?
While I respect your opinion, James Cameron begs to differ, as does his fellow leftist Sigourney Weaver. As do many leftist reviewers who are cheering it for the same reasons cited here.
Those concerns were sufficient to convince me not to pay the full-fare ticket, anyway.

Is Barack Obama perhaps a Hollywood avatar?
