Finally a critic actually paying attention during Avatar
Only children-including adult-children-will see
Avatar as simply an adventure film; their own love of technology has co-opted their ability
to comprehend narrative detail. Cameron offers sci-fi dazzle, yet bungles the good part: the meaning.
His undeniably pretty Pandora-a phosphorescent Maxfield Parrish paradise with bird-like lizards,
moving plant life and floating mountains-distracts from the inherent contradiction of
a reported
$300-$500 million Hollywood enterprise that casually berates America's industrial
complex.
