Pretty but nothing original

The 3D spectacle was certainly something to behold, but it's a shame that $100s of millions were spent on the special effects, but not much on the story. Very unoriginal and very predictable. Basically "Dances with Wolves" on another planet. The Na'vi were basically just stereotypical Native Americans, complete with identical war whoops. The end battle scene was pretty much the same as the Ewok battle in Return of the Jedi. Why is it so much to ask for both spectacle and a good, original story? Cameron did it with Aliens, why not here? He's just gotten caught up in the shiny glitz/no substance that draws in the millions of $. As I said, it was a spectacle to behold, but nothing close to a lasting masterpiece of movie art.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
