1. the message it was sending (tree hugging/earth loving, anti-U.S. politics, alien love fest, etc.)
2. the fact that the main characters looked weird.
3. letting the above two issues somehow paint the entire movie (including special effects) as dogshit. Which is laughable; especially when considering that NASA is going to use Cameron's 3D camera system for their next mission to Mars.
How many other movies' 3D technologies has influenced NASA again?

Not every "good" movie is supposed to be "Citizen Kane" Oscar-worthy. Avatar was promoted on its special effects and it delivered, regardless of its theme, acting, storyline, etc. Just like people don't go to horror movies expecting thesis-inspiring acting technique or story progression, people don't go to a movie like Avatar thinking the special effects would be overshadowed by anything else it had.
