@ this movie. I still can't believe most of this movie was done in CG, especially that forest. Freaking amazing visuals. This movie has set the bar high for CG movies that succeed it.

And it's entirely because of that Army Colonel. He was the real hero of the story for me.

This is an excerpt from his bio somewhere: "Possessed of little respect for indigenous lifeforms, especially the Na'vi, he directed the destruction of the Omaticaya Hometree and lead the RDA forces in an attempt to destroy the Tree of Souls."

I.E. he declared war on a tree.

In a lot of paralleling stories about Native Americans, the aboriginal will quixotically wonder aloud, in a simplistically meaningful question that's supposed to invoke doubt in the good-natured but naive white person he's teaching the ways of his tribe to, "How can one own land? Land belong to everyone. Not owned." Okay. Then the Colonel has as much right to bomb the damn tree as the natives have to "pray" to it (yet another instance of religion poisoning everything). Oh, but when it's inconvenient for THEM, then it's "their" land all of a sudden. Pretty hypocritical, and if they want to play these kinds of games then it's their fault for being stupid.

Also, the love-making scene (and any of the romantic undertones) was disgusting and made me want to headbutt myself in the face. My face was wrenched in a contorted, gritted expression through that entire part.

Also also, if this was supposed to be a parallel to the Americans invading Iraq like so many people insist it to be then there should have been a blue Saddam Hussein.
