Technically out of this world, lame attempt at 'Massage'

Rating: 5/10 (13 February 2010)

I would give 10/10 for the technical aspect. It is a must see of course. So many others have written about the imaginary world created -the landscapes, the aliens, the trees, the animals birds and even the insects - that I do not need to repeat. Worth seeing many times over just to experience the wonderful world created. Now, the soppy 'massage' bit. The movie might as well end with the caption "America Bad, Iraq victim". Just in case, we are too dumb to get the 'subtle' hints that there is and invasion and the invasion is in order to get minerals in the land, and the it is funded by a capitalist conglomerate and carried out by the military; just in case you missed the 'Shock and Awe' and 'Martyrdom' references; just in case you missed the Pentagon ring on the war room table, Cameron makes sure you did not miss out on hearing the phrase, 'fight terror with terror'. All that because the audiences are soooooooo....dumb, they won't get Hollywood 'nuances'! You are not supposed to ask why in the middle of the 22nd century entire crew of "Earth's" space mission speaks English in American accent, dressed in 20th century American military and 'hillbilly' garb and is almost homogeneously Caucasian. You know the answer, it is not about Pandora, and it is about Iraq. James Cameron, the smart one, is just being subtle! BTW, this is the same James Cameron that made "True Lies" and portrayed the Arabs in worst possible light - dumb, blood thirsty and incompetent at best. Now doing a 180, he does the same to the Americans.
