Avatar ****ing sucks. It's an emotional blackmail in which Cameron manipulates the audience into rooting for a bunch of mary stu perfect people. If they were actually alien like they would have been ugly mother****ers and we would have killed their shit and taken their stuff.
In all, its an intellectually bankrupt piece of shit.

I don't think you've thought about this very much.
[list=1][*]Unobtanium is more than a poor allegory for oil. It is an actual term that is used in materials science to refer to a perfect superconductor at room temperature. (This explains the floating mountains.)
[*]There is an opening for some pretty screwy science fiction in between the heavy handed political commentary. Did you notice that every person that was in close contact with the Na'vi became enamored with their culture, to the point of treason? There is a theory suggesting that the Na'vi were engineered by the planetary consciousness to seduce/ensnare the loyalties of the invaders and thus deflect the threat.[/list]

Everyone knows this already, I hope you don't think you're the clever one. The problem with James' retarded hippie message was that the movie was so incredibly good (more graphics than anything else), that nobody gave a damn.
