Debsue and I rented Avatar and watched it this past Saturday.  We did not watch it in the theaters even though it was the biggest selling movie of all time.  First off, this movie is visually stunning.  I give kudos for the technology and special effects.  However (you knew a however was coming), I am disturbed by all of the subtle and not so subtle messages contained in this movie.

• Military is evil
• Corporations are evil
• Civilization demolishes all that is good in nature
• Most insidious of all is the whole "mother earth"

Entertaining yes, appealing no.  I give it a big thumbs down.
