We've done it throughout history so far, why would we ever stop lol.

precisely.....and to be quite realistic, the need to find some sort of off world power source will come alot sooner than we have the know how to even get off this planet with that kind of mining set up. It is absolutely feasible and ultimately realistic that at our current pace of consumption, the scenario in avatar is completely within the realm of possibility. It would be nice though if we found shit on some asteroids instead of "ass raping" a planet as was so bluntly put.

It was visually tight. Considering that almost nothing in the damn movie really exists, it looked very fucking good.

However, the story was not especially interesting or compelling for me. The ideas or themes expressed in the film have been done before, like everything has. That means future attempts can't be average or run-of-the-mill if they are to be effective.

The acting and dialogue were very straightforward as well. Standard. It didn't help engage me for the most part. For a movie to be great (in my opinion), it has to involve my emotions.

Cameron created an amazing world very effectively, but this does not deserve an 8.8 on IMDB.

Poosie

This commentator was a lot quicker onto that:

Miranda Devine

And now since I did a little reading up on her it's clear where her vitriol came from, she's a neoconservative blogger in the same ballpark as Ann Coulter.......of course she hated the movie. And now after reading the whole critique I just have to shake my head, some people (especially conservatives) have no depth perception. What I mean by that is they live 6 months in the past and 6 months in the future, no more no less. It is quite impossible for these people to properly analyze anything because of this trait. Take her analysis of the N'avi in the movie "raping" local fauna and subjugating the local animals. Clearly she was texting during the movie and didn't understand what exactly the braid link really meant, it's just too much for her to process anyway. Let's just say for arguments sake that they really were "subjugating" the local animal populace....and this somehow negates Cameron's message. Well, even that critique would not fit as where would our species be if we hadn't "subjugated" horse's? I think Cameron understands that as he is clearly a student of native american culture. But there's still a respect that those cultures had for the animals they had to use to get by.....a notion I wish I could now backhand into little miranda's face. I could care less if someone didn't like the movie, but at least pay attention to the movie and get the concepts right or shut your fucking mouth.

I was meh also....visually it was stunning. But it was WAY too long and actually felt long. I don't mind a long movie if the story moves well enough (like the LOTR movies) but this was not the case here - for me anyway.

It made a $1 billion and to the studios - that's all that matters. Consider it the music industyr equivalent of buying a CD and finding nothing but fillers lol.
