I don’t know anyone who can even remember what the story part of Cameron’s Avatar actually was, let alone anyone who liked the story part. The part about the regular human’s consciousness taking over the artificial blue critter is completely forgotten, and that’s the whole reason the movie was called Avatar in the first place.
funnily that’s one of 2 things i remember clearly from it: the idea of growing an alien pseudo-clone of yourself that you beam your consciousness into like a psionic RV is very cool and scifi, and then the flora and fauna of the planet is something i want to see an Alien Planet-esque documentary about.
Everything else at best makes me remember the game Natural Selection which has a lot more soul.
