(Yawn) Another movie about the environment....

Rating: 6/10 (1 January 2010)

Whether you just like Avatar or worship Avatar will seriously depend on how much you buy into its message. Avatar is actually a mediocre movie. The only reason some people are giving Avatar a 10/10 is because they're blindly accepting its themes. For those of us who are old enough and informed enough to know that: a) environmentalism is just another false religion b) most of the indigenous peoples of the world have embraced modern technology and the global economy c) the scientists who disagree with Global Warming are being silenced d) the population of the earth is going DOWN not UP e) global resources (such as trees) are not being over-used and can easily be replenished using modern technology... Avatar is just another piece of leftist, Hollywood nonsense. As many people have pointed out, the plot (and pretty much the entire script) has been ripped off from other movies with the same "save the planet and tribal people" theme. Personally, I'm getting tired of it.
