So I gave in and saw Avatar today with the gal and my oldest brother (not the crazy one) & co. In Real-D, not IMAX 3D. Some observations:
The plot was paper thin and the story was as crippled as the protagonist. Who? What? Why? Where? all thrown out the window.
Very much the standard "Chosen One" BS we've been getting for far too long. Another stunner is the use of the "Samurai" described in Michael Moorcocks 'Starship Stormtroopers' essay: he rejects their training and education, he doesn't need it-he has superior instinct.
Real shockers from James Cameron.
