I absolutely LOVE this movie! What speaks most to me about this movie are the underlying messages between humanity's ability for greed & destruction coupled with humanity's ability for compassion & care.

The uncanny parallels between our world & the world of Pandora -from pillaging Earth/Pandora's resources to destroying natural habitats of countess creatures in the name of profit/destroying TreeHome in the name of profit is disheartening & infuriating...but there's also another side to humanity. The side that fights the injustice & stands up for what is right, even when mistakes were made in the process (Jake's intentions, in the beginning, was to get close to the Na'vi to "learn their ways", so he could convince them to move, but it was through this process of learning, he discovered what he was truly capable of).

I cannot say enough great things about this movie -from the storyline, to the development of the characters, all the way down to the breathtaking cinematography.

To say the least, I'm pretty excited for the release of the next Avatar!
