Of course as a symbolic expression of rejecting the nasty fruits of evil capitalism, Cameron will donate all the proceeds from the flick to various and sundry enviro-wacko orgs. (smirk)
Those who “relate” to the movie are empty inside and need this type of “filler” to make them feel good. Intelligent Christians will identify it for what it is, a movie meant for entertaining.
Know thy enemy, watch the movie, understand the warped world view, understand the emptiness that is the environmental religion and have fun with it. Alternatively make a moral statement and boycott it. Either way we all have a choice to make in how to deal with atheists, deist's, mother earth hippies, secular humanists and on and on and on. We can't get rid of them, we might be able to convert them, ultimately and unfortunately we have to learn to live with them.
Saw it in 3D, liked it alot, a visual feast.
As for the plot...crippled ex-Marine starts as a mercenary working for a mining corporation. Joins natives in Avatar form to understand them and study their weaknesses.
Starts to appreciate their society and sees that the corporation he’s working for is destroying the native people and land. Mayhem ensues. What’s the problem????
James Cameron, not John Cameron.
I went to see the 3-D technology, which was great. The story went downhill when the Marines became bloodthirsty killers. I and the people I was with were very uncomfortable with that plotline.
I might like to see the effects but I refuse to keep giving hollyweird my money to make this propaganda.
More crap from the land of the desperate and unimaginative.
The movie was asinine, written by a person who doesn’t understand technology. My wife liked it. She doesn’t pay attention to the messages.
If you have a super-shuttle like the one shown, you don’t use it as a “bomber.” You have it loft a package (a damn big rock) into a suborbital trajectory. When it arrives at the target at a velocity of 3-5 miles per second, its “game over.” There’s nothing left but a big crater.
Likewise, you don’t’ have you chopper gunships flying around slowly in formation, you keep them fast, loose, and working in pairs.
Finally, if unobtainium is necessary for the survival of Earth, we’ll be back. And this time we’ll do the job from orbit... and make very, very sure its done right.
