Avatar

So, I finally gave into all the hype and went to see Avatar. And found that the hype....was hype. I felt like Avatar was more of an experience than a great movie. I believe most of the people who miss out on seeing it in 3D won't be nearly as crazy about it. Stunning visuals and innovative technology aside the plot is not very developed and extremely unoriginal. It even came off as somewhat preachy to me. If your making a movie about aliens then I think they should be like nothing we've ever imagined before and their cultures shouldn't so closely mimic that of Native Americans or any indigenous society on earth for that matter. Why did the aliens have to walk on two legs, wear war paint, say prayers over a kill, and ride things that looked like horses? And why in "Aywa's" name did they set the sub-titles in PAPYRUS?

Although I was entertained this pretty much sums up my feelings about Avatar/Pocahontas/Ferngully/Dances With Wolves etc etc :
