Avatar was Pocahontas and the Mission combined. It had literally nothing to say... actually, I don't really remember anything they said that was worth remembering. Don't let the visuals blind you to a bankruptcy of thought or intellect in the scriptwriting process. It's still worth watching and a masterpiece on the technical side of things, but the story was pants.

Have you ever seen any body horror films of the 1980's? District 9 was practically the same formula in a completely different setting. Isn't that your argument against Avatar? Pocahontas in space?
