Should have won Oscar for best film instead of the Hurt Locker
This new release with new scenes from the original release is great. The image crispness and 3D effects seem better. Not sure what to make of new scene near end between Jake Sully and Tsu'tey (won't spoil it for you). Have seen Avatar four times now and plan to see it again while it is still in theaters, it really needs a big theater screen. One criticism I have of the movie is that whereas in the past a lot of environmental damage was done by imperialist countries, today the vast majority of damage is being done by the local inhabitants of tropical rainforests - not the United States at all. The United States is wrongly made out as the villain that destroys tribal cultures and wrecks the environment in mining operations in today's world. The mining company should have been multinational that had some local tribal support that went up against a segment of the tribal people who wanted to save their culture and natural world.
