I agree with Mr. Plinkett's oddly nuanced review. I really enjoyed Avatar, when I wasn't completely embarrassed and insulted by how stupid and easily manipulated it thought I was.
It does seem more like a theme park ride than a movie, so I'm glad to have that confirmed. This guy's right: Cameron (and Lucas before him with the Star Wars prequels) are taking movies in the exact wrong direction. Though I guess there's no way to take them in the right direction, since the stupid, stupid public will vote with their dollars for whichever films go the wrongest way.

ReplyDeleteIf you don't, you don't care about the Native American situation.

ReplyDeleteDidn't we kill them off already?
Movies I mean.
Because genocide is bad, or so I've been told.
