What’s your opinion of ‘Avatar’?

Los Angeles Times blogger Patrick Goldstein says that conservative commentators are taking shots at James Cameron’s “Avatar,” a film that - as of today - has grossed some $1.3 billion ($432 million in the U.S. alone). Goldstein states, correctly enough, that regardless of political attitudes, moviegoers flocking to the film are “enthralled by” it.

“As for its themes,” Goldstein continues, “my guess is that people either find themselves in agreement - maybe it is a bad thing to destroy a pristine primitive culture - or manage to ignore the message altogether.”

What about you? What do you like about “Avatar”? What do you dislike? Is it a great film? Or are we engaging in a kind of mass hypnosis caused by Cameron’s mastery of CGI? Or is something else going on?
