The first time, the hokey, anti-capitalist storyline was disappointing and annoying.
However, I decided to look at it a different way. I thought of the "corporation" as liberal, environmental wackos trying to force themselves on the natives, and the Na'Vi trying to uphold their land from eminent domain.
Think of it this way; the bulldozers represent the government and the Na'Vi as the good people of Kelo, Conn.
Anyway, it worked for me, and it was great in 3-D.
That’s the way I saw it the first time... The government/corporate provision of everyone’s needs made me think more of an Obama government and corporate hangers on as responsible.
I like to enjoy a movie every once in a while but I’m really, really picky.
Star Trek was quite satisfying, so was the recent Sherlock Holmes movie. But Julia/Julie was bittersweet - enjoyed the movie until it started bashing Senator Joe McCarthy and Republicans. Nora Ephron produced the movie and couldn’t help herself from turning a movie about mastering French cooking into a political statement, which turned me off.
