Here is Critical Drinker's review.
This review convinced me not to bother to see this movie, but it doesn't sound like this movie is overly woke (unless simplistic environmentalism is woke) or deeply flawed.
Even if the movie is not great, I do not like to miss a portion of a movie because I had to go pee.
I drink water like a fish and I thus have to go urinate often. If I am preparing to watch a movie in the theaters, I will deliberately go on a water fast, so as not to interrupt my movie watching experience.
According to Critical Drinker. This is a three hour run time with a simplistic story. For me that's a deal breaker. I don't mind a three hour run time if it's a brilliantly engaging story and I don't mind a simplistic story if it's relatively short.
If this was any other movie, I could wait for it to come out on DVD or streaming and
pause the movie to urinate, but this is
Avatar. Avatar is all about the amazing visuals and amazing visuals deserve to be seen in a theater.
If I want to watch a better written fantasy story about industrialization versus noble savages, I will watch
Princess Moanoke. It's noteworthy in
Princess Moanoke that neither side is entirely good or entirely bad. Yes, the industrialists are doing horrible damage to the environment and the sentient creatures that are one with the wilderness but the industrial people are looking after their family and their even provides jobs for lepers who have no where else to go.
I think if James Cameron wants to make a three hour Avatar movie, he should not make the humans one-dimensional villains.
