If you're going into a movie like Avatar thinking "politics" ... you're wrong. And until I hear everyone bitching about politics in movies bitching about the old Lone Ranger tv shows, I'm afraid I'm just going to ignore everyone who insists on seeing messages in everything.

It's a freaking kids film with action, a fantastically beautiful world with awesome new monsters and cool sci fi action. Personally I thought it was a complete ripoff of "Battle for Terra" with some Robin Hobb's "Forest Mage" trilogy thrown in. Not to mention, a bit of World of Warcraft.

You can make the same complaint about "political overtones" in every science fiction movie. Alien and Aliens ring a bell to anyone? How about damn near every book ever written? Don't you people read?

The OP merely said he loved the movie, it was visually splendid. If you want to discuss the political overtones of the thing, start a new thread.

Myself I give it 4 out of 5 stars. My 14 yr old daughter and 9 yr old son thought it was "Awesome". My wife was blown away by it.

If you can't enjoy the movie because it's too "political"....the problem is you. Get over your bad self and lighten up. Christ.
