The problem with what Avatar is trying to do, is that for it to work, it almost has to be made by someone like Cameron, who makes movies so insistent on themselves, so obvious in their metaphors, and so formulaic in their construction that it's impossible to take them seriously. And so, when you gradually realize while you're watching them how seriously they take themselves, you almost respect it and convince yourself into going along for the ride. That's how this movie is going to make you feel.
