Yeah, me too. Avatar was amazing as a technical product but annoying as a preachy, pagan, environmentalist wacko propaganda piece.
That was my impression of it as well. In my version of it, Captain Whiteman and his space cadets land to find the native Navi all dying of malaria and offer them 100,000 tons of DDT for the rights to grow as much Cuban tobacco as they could carry home with, everybody shakes hands and smiles, and the movie is basically over other than for the sex scenes....

It was nothing but propaganda for the whole “Noble Savage” myth.
Truth is in any stone age environment there proportion of “Noble savage” to “Regular Savage” is quite low...
