An impossible ending of a typical conflict

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 2010)

It represents a conflict pretty much like the one between the native-Americans and the European colonists. The Navi with their culture, religion and way of life resemble well to the American Indian tribes. Only that the movie shows not a thing about wars between the Navi tribes, that are a fact in the history of native-American tribes, and that contributed in a significant way to the extermination of the Indians by the European immigrants: had they been united and acted like one nation it would have been much more difficult to destroy them (see also what J.F. Cooper says about those wars in The Last of The Mohicans and what Karl May says in Winnetou on this topic). Could an underdeveloped and non-industrial population win a war against a highly technological society? Definitely not! Yet Cameron comes up with that insurrection of all living things on the planet against the humans, which resembles somewhat with the way the Jedi in Star-Wars manipulated animals - and even some intelligent, yet not too intelligent beings - in order to turn the tables. Otherwise, I appreciate as very significant that the humans wanted "unobtainium" on that planet, which is a transparent pun, rendering well the reality that man always searches something that is unobtainable. Yet the unreal aspect is that those Navi are presented as some that "are living their own dream": no conflicts, no unfulfilled desires. That doesn't match any population in the history of mankind, which leads us to the conclusion that, if such a thing really exists, it must be on another planet. The special effects save the movie, that otherwise wouldn't be worth a dollar (unlike other movies, that are rather low budget, but show more real things).
