This is why, in spite of the hype, I will most certainly NOT be plunking down the bucks to see "Avatar." I'll take my preaching on Sundays, thanks.
While I don't like preachy movies either, I think seeing Avatar for the eye candy is worth it. From another forum:
"Agreed. While I agree with a lot of what Sir Pudding is saying, I knew the first time I saw the preview that Avatar was going to be a mediocre at best plotline that existed solely to justify the 'ooooh, pretty!'
"Consequently, while the plotline is trite and predictable, with holes you could drive a bus through, I'm okay with that. Because I was pretty sure that was gonna be the case ahead of time. It's a gorgeous movie. The whole point of me going was to see how gorgeous it was. Mission accomplished."
