Messiah Complex

Shout out to William McDavid for showing me this: CLICK

Personally, I'm not a huge Avatar fan. I was disappointed by James Cameron considering his massive record-breaking blockbuster is 12-years in the making and cost between 300 and 500 million dollars to produce. Also a disappointing effort when considering his past filmography- True Lies, Aliens, Terminator and Terminator 2, Titanic- truly amazing, but as for Avatar, brilliant visual are not enough to shoulder a weak story.

"It’s just escapism, obviously, but benevolent romanticism can be just as condescending as the malevolent kind — even when you surround it with pop-up ferns and floating mountains."
