Although the 3-D was somewhat cool, it was an utterly predictable story lacking any originality at all with acting that was marginal at best. It was a not-so-thinly veiled allegory, with an environmentalist, "humans, the military, and corporations are bad" background. The Na'vi looked suspiciously like the native Martians from Futurama who spoke, dressed, and had somehow developed a culture remarkably similar to that of native Americans. The Dragon Riders of Pern and Starship Troopers (the book) were blatantly ripped off. James Cameron should be embarrassed. The only way I can understand people becoming depressed after seeing this movie is beacause they wasted time and money on it. I'd rather clip my toe-nails.
