    I mean… the message isn’t even hidden. It’s literally about a dude fighting for the natives. That’s the entire plot.

    i think i’m one of like 10 people in the world who thought that movie was meh af

    it reminded me of dances with wolves, which was also a snoozefest, not helped by moving everything to outer space

      I guess you missed literally almost everyone when it came out saying “Looks amazing, but is just a longer Fern Gully in space.” I have never heard anyone call it good, excepting those who praised the legitimate achievement it was for visual effects.

          Paid publicity and novelty of visual effects are the same as people saying something has artistic merit. Ya got me!

      I actually enjoyed Dances with Wolves, but Avatar was Pocahontas in space. Pretty to look at, but not much below the surface.

      I couldn’t even finish the second one. It started out as a Movie, then turned into “save the whales” with extra silliness.

    I wouldn’t worry.

    Capitalism won’t escape this rock. Either we move past it or we all die. The aliens are safe.
