So I just watched Avatar* a few weeks back, a bit behind the curve I know.
Then today I'm going through my RSS reader and I start seeing Avatar review posts. I'm about 3.5 months behind on RSS as well, so it all worked out. Time machine FTW.
*Slipshod assortment of various noble savage themes with a host of super-cliché moments barely excused by kick-ass visuals. Would have been immeasurably better if it had ended as a tragedy rather than continuing on for the inevitable final battle. Cameron tried to be Spielberg because he lacked the guts to be a Kubrick. The result reminded me of the recent efforts of Lucas, and that's not a compliment.

Yeah! Go blue people! All life is sacred, except for those damned G-men! Thank God the pacifists can kick ass when its in their best interest.
I thought the facial animation was well done. The rest seemed to me to be expensively produced, but not all that artistically interesting or technically novel.
