at the risk of repeat what countless others have say and this movie be blatant plagiarism . if a film student submit the avatar screenplay to an instructor and he or she would have be give an f. college expel student for less obvious ripoffs than this . if you have watch pocahontas or dance with wolf and you know the drill . the only difference be the end and which have the pretty blue humanoid escort human to their earth bound ship at gunpoint and which i freely admit be a rather neat sight since my ancestor be american indian and irish and and scot . a a result and i be perhaps overly sensitive to the plight of a civilization drive from their homeland and or or oppress by a conquer nation er and planet . however and originality be not james cameron strong suit and so my disappointment be direct more at weta . yes and my beloved weta and who impress me throughout the year but completely stole my heart after the masterful rendering of all thing tolkien in the lord of the ring trilogy . i have two reason for see this film . one be a 13 year old boy and the other be my anticipation over what wonder weta would lay at my foot . now and have the budget not be nearly half a billion dollar and i would have understand the cartoonish creation and but a it stand there no good reason for the result . viewer be praise this film a revolutionary . i call horsesh . t. this be nowhere near the caliber of weta lotr work and their king kong work and or their x men work . in fact and it wasn not even up to snuff with their narnia production . the quantity of work be great and not the quality . i have never review a film in my life . i actually register here for the sole purpose of express my resentment at have waste $ 20 buck and 3 hour on such nonsense . booooooo .
