Finally saw it, thought it was great.
Yes the plot is borrowed from just about a dozen movies made before it. Its got some Ewoks, and Braveheart, and Last Samurai (or Pocahontas). But I did think it was done very well and the eco nut political message was fine with me so I did not eye roll at it.
But Cameron manages to do something that Lucas could not, and that was make this fake computer generated world feel real. Part of it starts with better effects from a few years of technological advancement, part of it comes from better dialogue, and another part better direction and acting.
There were many part of the story where I forgot the things on screen were all drawn by a computer because it was more real and I was lost in the story. Something I never felt with Jar Jar or clonetroopers. They always were phoney and distracting.
Just shows that George should come up with the idea and let someone else run with it. A director he aint.
I thought Avatar was great, but its not a movie I would see over and over (although I will pick up a blu ray someday) because its really long, and you have seen the same plot a dozen times before.
