I'll repeat my criticism I posted at FCM: There is no story, just an outline. There are no characters or people, but archetypes. Never once was I ever compelled or really taken by the story.

That said, at certain times AVATAR does work in spirit as an Edgar Rice Burroughs-inspired daydream fantasy. Before that term got hijacked by that Sword & Sorcery bullshit. But in 2010 America with an awful economy, two never-ending (ill-advised?) wars...doesn't going to outer space to save the day and get the girl sound like a nice diversion?

That escapism probably why the bland THE BLIND SIDE made $200+ million and going to bag that chick from SPEED an Oscar.
