We were at the movies a few weeks ago and the preview was shown of Avatar. My decision was made immediately that I would "NOT" spend my money on this movie.

The movie is anti-West and ANTI-Military.

[ExcursionGuy84]

In Hollywierd-speak, the term "white" = Anglo-Europeans,

Protestants, Messianic/Orthodox Jews & Devout Catholics,

Bible-reading,

GOD-fearing/ worshipping,

gun-bearing,

game-hunting,

hard-working,

log-splitting,

fur-wearing,

child-bearing people.

Can't wait to miss it, just like all of the other crap that comes out of the cesspool called hollywood.

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.

[Rebelbase]

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.

[Army Air Corps]

Sci-Fi ping.

I saw "Avatar" at a I.T.-vendor-sponsored event back on Friday. Since it cost me nothing but 3 hours of my time, I agree with the assessment.

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.

[antceecee]

It's just a movie.

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.

"The fact that quite a few among the predominantly white audience cheered for this movie shows that anti-white hatred and stereotypes have become so widespread and accepted that most people cannot even see it, least of all whites themselves."

That's because your top economic leaders manufacture the stereotypes, then try to pit groups against each other. They sponsor the media broadcasts, the "education" and all political parties. It's an old tactic of empire to divide colonial groups in order to keep them from attacking the fearful leaders for their traitorous deeds and thieveries.

[Bon mots]

Evil white men.
Technology.
The Marines.
Business.
The West.

Good little noble naked blue savages.

Sounds like Copenhagen. Or Washington DC.

[junta]

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.

[ctdonath2]

Basically, the white characters are portrayed as brutal, greedy and insensitive beasts who rape the environment and destroy other cultures with a smile in the search for profit.

Are we to defend and emulate such?

[antiRepublicrat]

From what I’ve heard, the only thing positive about this movie are the special effects and high-end production technology. The script and acting are pretty much useless, except for Sigourney Weaver.

[oldsouldier]

Goodness, you all are some cynical suspicious people.
I am white. I saw Avatar with two white friends. We are all i would say conservatively minded. None of us felt it was an “anti-white” film. IT WAS FICTION. It was a well told fiction story, and it is ridiculous to say it was some anti white anti west film. It is just as fair to say it was an anti chinese film or any other industrialized country, you guys are incredibly arrogant to think 1) you are the only industrialized country in the world and 2) to think you are the only country in the world that has attacked and destroyed an indenigious people.
futhermore the 3d graphics were amazing. The film was pretty easy to call, but who cares? i have watched true stories I already knew the end of and still enjoyed it a lot.

One more time, say it with me, FICTION!

[wendy1946]

Hope the hero/heroine of the film have some way/connection to adopt children...

[sergeantdave]

The first time I saw “Plan Nine From Outer Space” I was amused. If “Avatar” is made of the same stuff, I’m sure I’ll find it amusing.

Any buxom vampires in this flick?
