Avatar (2009)

Just saw this movie today and while it wasn't the best it also wasn't the worst movie. It was very long though and could have been cut in half and none of the story-line would have been lost.
The movie wasn't some new idea or story-line. The only real thing that was new was the language the Avatars speak (but of course everyone also speaks English - see it really is the "World's Language.") It was really just an old Western that was updated. The US Military are the Cavalry and the Avatars are the Indians (at times the movie seemed more like watching Disney's "Pocahontas" without the songs.) The main difference is who wins.
I don't see this film being the "best all year" as I have heard. The theater was basically empty with only a handful of people there. I would suggest people wait til it comes out on DVD and get it from Netflix.
