Avatar is a fantastic and beautiful ride. It has many wonderful moments of discovery and joy and loss. From a technology standpoint it is amazing and Zoe Saldana did an excellent job bringing her character and the Na'vi people life.
BUT, in the days since walking away from the theater I get more and more discouraged and angry with it. With that much time and money, couldn't Cameron have written a more complex and interesting story with layers and a less contrived set of circumstances? Now I just feel like I was being brainwashed while distracted by a wonderful image.
See it, enjoy it, but don't take it for more than it is.
