Avatar was unbelievably pretty; the 3D effects were gorgeous and well integrated although I now have a pounding headache.

The movie itself was composed of the most humiliating, colonial, imperialist, sexist, capitalist, racist, militarist montage I have ever seen. I haven't felt the urge to walk out of a movie in years but I hung in there hoping miserably for a magical fix that didn't come. I am embarrassed on behalf of the human race.

I thoroughly enjoyed Avatar last night. I miffed mildly at some character deaths, but otherwise barely noticed being far too happily wrapped up it the pretty and hawt.
It has Sigourney Weaver innit. That made my year. The scenery was so breathtakingly gorgeous that after the first few minutes I stopped remember it was cgi.
As for the story? Well from what I understand the story came second to the Scenery and Worldbuilding.
Also I seem to lack enough empathy to give a shit about the apparent issues in it. Because I seriously wanted that bigger pterodactyl And the big kitty, definitely the big kitty.
Flashy cgi, good guys won, bad guys lost, that all I can ask from a big budget movie. You want introspection and wise words on the state of humanity, then your better of sticking to indie films.

*grins* that's pretty much my final take.

It's very, very pretty!
