Avatar - the movie

Avatar is an impressive movie while watching in the cinema. In retrospect, the movie was not really as great as I thought. I wonder what it will feel like watching the DVD on a 2D TV set? Without the 3D effect, this movie looks like a high quality video game's cutscene. Yes, the CG characters were done very well, but still they looks like video game characters.

The story is like Dances with wolves with a bit of green propaganda and Iraq war thrown in. The only scene in the story that thrills me was Jake telling the Navi that he was not one of them, he was an avatar whose real self was somewhere else. He was sent to give them the message so they will believe. This angered the Navi, and they tied him up, maybe trying to kill him? Was James Cameron telling us that Jesus was an avatar, that his real self was somewhere else, that Christ was downloaded into Jesus physical body to bring us a message so we will believe?
