Avatar: a great movie to ponder about taking care of mother earth  

I saw Avatar but not very impressed with the plot. It's been done before - not very original. The story isn't original just the setting. And I feel that the whole alien environment is a little tad too overdone. James Cameron spent almost half a billion dollars to create this surreal alien environment and with the economy as it is I think that is such a waste of resources. Movies like New Moon spent less than $50,000 and churned out profits in the hundreds of thousands. James Cameron is just an arrogant director who likes to spend money to make the perfect movie. Just see how much he spent to make Titanic.

Hi, jlamela
Avatar is indeed a great movie. It shows us a kind of people who respects, loves and uses nature the way it should be used. It also shows us the classic lesson of those who operate with greed and shows disregard for life would never succeed.

James Cameron is one of the best

i love the movie too! i especially like the night scenes.. bioluminescense (or something like that... i do not know the spelling) is so cool. i like the lesson that they want to teach us too. we should really be one with nature and not consume the finite resources found on earth. it saddens me that there are a lot of people who destroy our planet for a living. may God have mercy on their souls to destroy such a beautiful planet..

happy mylotting!

Avatar is just a total rip-off of Disney's Pocahontas, Check it out Guy from other "world" comes to look for resources, guy meets "savage" girl, girl introduces the importance of nature, guy and girl in love, girl is actually the daughter of chief, chief almost get killed so on and so forth. The only great thing about it is it's Visual fx.

I don't like that movie...it was SOOO SOO sad! xD
did you hear it is the most expensive film made yet?

The whole movie was ok, it was pretty long so I got bored but 3D was killer! :D

I too are not very impressed by the plot. I mean for all that work, the central plot is mankind cut trees. Big surprise, lol. I love the graphics though, but it alone is actually quiet boring.

I love the movie too. We do have same sentiments about the movie. The movie has touch many issues in life about greed and making money and most important of all respecting mother nature. In the movie we humans were depicted the bad guys in the movie but still there was a few ones that realized the importance of the what the natives of that planet were standing by. It somehow reminded me of the first European explorers that discovered the American continent. They conquered the land by doing exactly what was the movie all about except that in the movie the natives somehow succeeded in expelling the humans despite their lack in arms against them. Very nice plot indeed.

I watched this movie with my family and I like this movie. You are right. This is the theme of this movie. Perhaps 2012 is coming, so there are many rumors. And today our earth has been polluted by human beings and the situation is just going to be worse. So this movie can remind us to cherish our earth and don't spoil it.

I love China

Trust me movies is not going to teach anyone. I did not find this movie that great, to be honest with you. Think of this, if you remove all the special effects, is it going to be that interesting? No! When I watched it, it seemed like Native Americans are fighting for their freedom, but in this case they win. Also in some parts i felt like I was watching a harry potter or lord of the rings. There are great Sci-fi books, with much better plots, I believe the plot could have been better.

I don't really impressed...
Since this movie has huge budget...
Well, that the story about mother earth is good to us to change our way to care about environment...
