Everyone Loves to Talk About Avatar


Everyone seems to be chiming in on Avatar these days. James Cameron's movie continues to break all kinds of box office records, and has grossed over $431M in the four weeks its been out. And critics and audiences are generally receptive to the film.

However, there has also been a lot of criticism floating around out there. This includes plot similarities to other movies (Pocahontas, Dances with Wolves, The Last Samurai, Fern Gully - my favorite alternate title is Last of the Bluehicans), accusations of racism in the movie, and news of viewers becoming depressed after watching the film (really, guys?).

Personally, I loved the visuals the movie had to offer (3D IMAX is definitely the way to watch this), but thought the dialog was fairly predictable.
