The more I learn about this movie, the more I admire it.

Rating: Null/10 (2 February 2010)

I first viewed "Avatar" from about mid-way back in the theatre, and I was simply overwhelmed with the anti-manifest destiny theme, the magnificent, ominous creatures, and Zoe Saldana's inspired performance and the CGI.
Stephen Lang portrays a tough, confident, field grade officer who walks the talk. At 57, he is in great physical condition, and he displays the grit and fanaticism of an old gunfighter slingshotted into the wild, dystopian future of human greed colliding with environmental harmony, far, far from planet earth.
I believed that Pandora could really exist and that smarmy, cynical bureaucrats may change their settings but never abandon their crude, ends-justify-the-means quests for more riches, more power, damn the consequences.
I hope that "Avator" proves to be even partially as influential as "Star Wars" was back in 1977.
