When you pay for a product, you are voting for it. I will not be paying to see this movie in any way, shape or form.

I, nor my children, ever saw Pocahontas either.

I saw the preview, and immediately told myself I was not going to pay to watch this garbage.

The trailer cried out: INDIGENOUS PEOPLES FIGHT OFF WHITE MEN AND MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.

The CGI looks unbelievable, I can shut my mind off for overt liberalism (hell I love brain dead movies), but I’ll wait til my Father in Law buys it for DVD

The South Park guys knew the story before the movie was released: thus Dances with Smurfs.

Oh I am not seeing this movie as I have absolutely no interest and that was even before this article.

"So much for Cameron's chance of making back his half-billion $ budget! "

He'll make it back, perhaps in foreign ticket sales alone - they eat that anti-US crap up.

What they haven't quite figured out is that their garbage keeps working against the US, even when their guy is in office. In 12 months of foreign policy work, Obama has got bupkis to show for it precisely because of the prevalent anti-American sentiment that has been propagated by Hollyweird for eight years.

We have been seeing the SRM promote this movie for several months. That alone, is enough to convince me that this movie is left wing propaganda. This movie will win all the “awards”.

I am shocked it is left wing.

Shocked I tell you...

Oh, I’ll see it, all right, at SOME point — in a manner that minimizes the revenue to its producers.

You know... the twin plot devices of Big Evil Corporation and Pure and Noble Savages is really getting kinda old. They've just been beaten to death too darn many times.

Somebody ought to try something *really* avant-garde and portray some corporation as the hero. That comes into town and cleans out the socialist weasels that’ve been tyrannizing the indigenous people... raising them out of the squalor and fetid disease-ridden lives they've suffered with for so long...

Something like that...

Dang, I was looking forward to this one! Why can’t these people leave their left wing garbage out of movies and just create an enjoyable fantasy flick? I like movies such as Lord of the Rings, where I can lose myself in a fantasy world and not think about the “real” world for a couple hours. If I wanted to spend 2 hours being fed left wing propaganda I would save my $20 dollars and just turn on MSNBC.

Practically all movies have a left-wing slant.

But politics aside, the premise is interesting. We always make movies about aliens invading Earth. But what if one day we are capable of intersteller travel and find a planet that has a resource that we want/need. You really think human beings wont try to exploit it? Seriously?

One day in the future, we might be the aliens doing the invading. Im not saying this from a political point of view. I’ve just read enough history to understand the tendancies of our species. And our intentions are NOT always good. That’s just reality.

Well that’s a bummer. Not surprising—but the animation looked so cool I was hoping I could stomach the storyline.

I guessed at the “teched up white people vs. cool nature-based indigenous people” slant from the trailers, but I suppose I hoped the story was more complex, in terms of showing that both sides had very good reasons for the fight, compelling them to take the positions they did. Too bad it’s so simplistic, naive, and left—not going to get any $$ from this consumer.

If Sarah Palin sees Avatar and then sits down and actually thinks about what it's saying (which is always a dicey proposition, I admit), she'll hate this movie. Because Avatar hates her and her kind.

"Her kind" is nevertheless expected to subsidize this drivel by paying to see it.

I'll pay to see another James Cameron movie when hell freezes over.
