But dazzling sfx in 3D. Tin-eared writing, paper-thin characters, and a hippy-dippy philosophy about the noble savage and the mean nasty rotten white guys from Earth. And given that there is a huge audience for that kind of thinking today, why did Cameron put such gutter language in every third scene? This could have been a great family movie, but for the litany of s*** and f*** and b**** and a.h. and so on. I think he thinks "that is the way people talk," which makes me less mad and more sad.
