To me, the best thing about this movie is the total immersion you feel when watching it. What the plot might lack in development and unseen twists (to be honest the trailer sums it up nicely) is more than made up with the level of attachment that you develop with the characters. There's something about feeling like you're standing right next to the characters that makes you really feel connected with them, you know? To me, the only flaw in this movie is what you mentioned about the political undertones. The obvious pro-conservation tone was woven nicely into the story, but the Iraq parallels seemed forced at best. The worst part though is that when the strength of the movie comes from its power to transport you to another world, it's unsettling to be so rudely pulled back into the real world. To be honest, I had forgotten that there were people sitting around me until the "shock and awe" line was delivered and you turned to me and scoffed about how obvious that reference was. I almost jumped in my seat. Anyway good luck with actually having the avatar dream. If it would even compare. Well written review.
