AVATAR IS GREAT DESPITE POLITICS

The film was visually stunning and emotionally engaging. The main military figure was too stereo-typed.
The film fails as a take on our relationship to the environment since biology doesn't simply doesn't work as well as it does on Pandora. I liked the emphasis of the 'spiritual' as a pervasive element of Pandora's ecology. I think that points to more than natural selection as a mechanism for an ordered eco-system.
The movie functions best to show that love matters and that one should not simply TAKE what one wants. It has too many intellectual inconsistencies for one to draw anything more from it than that. So, the message is a good one unless one looks too deeply....
Yes, I recommend this movie.

An Amazing Experience!

I saw the Dark Knight yesterday. It makes all the other films I've seen this year seem like nothing more than popcorn movies. I've see a lot of good movies this year, but this one tops them all.
It's not a perfect movie, but the flaws are minimal. I've never seen the genre treated so seriously on film. The performances are strong and believable. The plot and dialogue are tightly executed. I believed that this situation could exist in the real world.
The Joker will never be the same to me. I never saw the character as a truly frightening menace until now.
The themes of morality, justice, sacrifice and loss are presented with so much depth and variation in meaning as to give the viewer much to consider in regard to the world we live in.
I've caught myself thinking about the movie a lot over the last 24 hours. It's haunting me.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
