Never has a movie made me more sad
I've never seen a movie that has saddened me more. Despite the incredible beauty of the scenes, I was in tears nearly through the entire film. I loved all Avatar movies, but this one stands out, as Cameron has dropped all subtlety and is now holding the mirror to our faces. Pandora of course is Earth, the beauty of Pandora is the beauty of Earth in hyperbole, but still clearly recognizable. Unfortunately for Earth, most people on this planet behave like the sky people. So if you are rooting for the Na'ir, realize that in Cameron's view, you most likely are one of the bad guys. He picks up so many current issues, the dying of the coral reefs, the burning and destruction of our forests, the bestiality of whale hunting, the hunting and killing of elephants, rhinos, sharks and many other species for a single body part that is supposed to give us youth or virility. I'm sure I haven't captured all of them. The sentence 'Water has no beginning and no end.' is a very clear reference to the fact that pollution of our planet will inevitably affect us too.
Reading the comments and complaints about a 'weak plot' or 'boring movie' makes me absolutely despair. How more obvious does he need to get before shallow viewers finally get the message? Our planet is burning, we destroy the very ecosystems that keep us alive, yet all people seem to care about is their personal entertainment.
