Avatar Movie

Friday night I saw Avatar. Did critics call it predictable and formulaic? I’m not even gonna look. I figure if Avatar hadn’t used the old themes it couldn’t comment on them. It certainly seemed to be building on old material. (I wish I could be more specific but, to do that, I’m afraid I’d need a second viewing. Right now I’m going on a general impression.) Much appreciated is Avatar’s reliance on subtext. They don’t tell you those creatures are telepathic, but by the time it matters, you know they are.
