…and offers up a rather interesting review of the movie, which more or less seems to jive with a lot of what else I’ve been reading about James Cameron’s “epic” film that was…what?…a decade in the making? Anyhow…the general consensus seems to be that it’s Fern Gully meets Pocahontas, with a rather Smurf-like element thrown in. So expect the usual anti-capitalist/anti-military/anti-American/anti-Bush lefty boilerplate.

And, of course, a powerfully anti-human message.

But apparently the movie is stunning at a technical level, which is cool. I guess. Though personally, I think Cameron peaked with Aliens, and should’ve hung it up thereafter.
