Touched my heart! I saw 'Avatar' yesterday and found it masterfully crafted. I love and respect James Cameron as a consummate filmmaker and spiritual teacher. I relived a lot of the pain I have felt over the decades watching logging lorries kick up a dust trail while slowly killing the Earth. Meanwhile the corporate spindoctors sneer and call us "militant tree-huggers" and ask if we would rather live on trees. Well, anyone who lives in a wooden house is literally living in an exploded tree. Ecocide + genocide = imperialism! Thank you, Anil. Touched my heart!

It is definitely the oscar movie of the year! Congrats to James Cameron for such great work since Titanic! Someone once told me that if someone can imagine it, it will come to pass... still remember the pen drive used in Star Trek in old days while we still uses Win v3.11? Then, we might laughed at such an idea of a thumb drive, now, its everywhere! ps-Its amazing that in topics like these that doesn't involves politics, Gerakan K's comment is no where to be found.

Then Westerners will be correct in the future when they think Malaysians live on trees. Get real. Yes, let’s all go back and live on tree huts, Anil.

There is hardly a frame where they are not present. The graphics astonish thanks to the realistic and high quality animation. Realistic movement in characters grabs even more of the viewer's attention thanks to all the freaky colours and lighting. Since the setting is an alien planet, the graphic artists had the freedom of creating beauty that does not exist down here at Earth. All the actors were believable and well articulated. Perhaps this was done not without the assistance of computer graphics. Is that cheating? Hard to say, when your jaw is on the floor. Not to mention that some, like Giovanni Ribisi - plays the bad corporate - did not get any help from the special effects and yet performed outstandingly.

It helps to give me an extra "resource" to talk with those who usually don't think about the environment and ecology in relation to life as humans in the long run. Blessed 5th Day of Christmas. Happy New year! I liked the movie. It helps to give me an extra “resource” to talk with those who usually don’t think about the environment and ecology in relation to life as humans in the long run.

Who's the one who's going against the interests of the nation? What a loaded word.

It's in you face. Very overt messages. You'll be blind to miss the points JCameron was trying to say. Its not as refined as Dances With Wolves, but then, this younger generation likes 'in your face'. The messages are timely. Its what's wrong with this world now. Its a wake up call. But it wont strike a chord with the right wing, middle America. These ppl live in the righteous believe of good ole U-S-A. This movie will also not strike a chord with the ppl who's mentality is still stuck in 1000AD. To them tribal laws rules supreme. Its an above average movie, with excellent special effects. This movie is the Dances With Wolves for this generation.

I should have made it clearer. Thanks, actually, I was also thinking of Jon Landau, who produced both Avatar and Titanic, for which he won an Academy Award. I should have made it clearer.
