Make sure to notice this in the movie

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2009)

I would have given the movie a 10 if it weren't so preachy. Visually it is a masterpiece. It has the best CGI sequences ever made. Avatar is to believable CGI characters what Jurassic Park was to dinosaurs. Many of the story elements are preachy, anti-"American," anti-military tripe. Just as Battleship Earth was a front for Scientology propaganda, Avatar is the same for the Eco-religion. Lines are shoe-horned in like "fight terror with terror" and "shock and awe." You could have shortened the movie by 15 minutes by just inserting 10 seconds showing Bush as Hitler.
Make sure to notice what is happening in the story when he says the "terror with terror" line. It's laughable.
They hit most of the bad dialog mines. Nothing too horrible though.
The 3D is good but unnecessary. Cameron has created an utterly beautiful, believable, fantastical, organic world.
