Avatar is a colorful, creative, well-conceived movie. The visual presentation is stunning and the world you are absorbed in is beautiful. I found some of the acting and some of the dialogue under-done. I also found some of the political inferences to be un-necessary and overdone. For example, the reference to "Shock and Awe" as a dig against the Bush administration. James Cameron is a visionary director and writer. Leave politics out of these kind of movies.
