Another Movie Thread - Because We Love Them So

[Jim]

I found the overall plot somewhat inconceivable, in that within the entire complex on Pandora of future humanity (with the hindsight of what they've done to Earth), only a handful of people would stand up against the rampant ecologic destruction and extermination of the indigenous population.

So, I just don't buy into the premise that people would be so immorally complicit just to extract something as unoriginal as unobtanium even if it was worth $20 million a kilo. Beyond that, I was turned off by the cliche' of the gung-ho military eager to destroy and escalate, the greedy corporation only thinking about their short term gains, and the noble science geeks being the only humans exhibiting humanity.

I think the most interesting part to me was the society and culture of the Na'vi loosely based on indigenous tribal cultures of earth, but adapted to the unique biology of their planet. I just knew by the end of the film, that given Lt. John Dunbar Jake Sully's predicament, I'd have gone native too.

Mostly just to beat down that stupid abusive stereotyped Colonel, and that riding horses and flying on dragons with a brain to brain interface would be pretty cool.

Hi,

Avatar was nothing more than an old fashion movie about "Cowboys and Indians" instead of the plains of South Dakota it takes place on "Pandora" instead of extracting Gold, they extracted Unobtanium. Maybe Avatar2 could be about Oil?

I liked Avatar.
