First off, this technology and the way it was employed in this film is the biggest invention since the talkie. Some would say this movie is corny. Yes, there is a love story between a boy and a girl. But, the big love story in this movie is that of The People and their planet. The fact that most reviewers didn't get that is a sad statement about our stewardship of our own planet (a point that Cameron makes in the movie, btw). Avatar is a big statement about our time in history. Apparently, it is not thinly veiled enough for some. Whatever. Go for the eye candy. Go for the savagery if you can't get that out of your blood. But, if you are a romantic who believes there's hope for the future, go for the love stories -- they're both good.
