I just watched 'Avatar' on DVD. I can see why it's so popular. To some extent it's similar to 'The Lord of the Rings', with the invented languages and the epic battle between good (humanism) and evil (capitalism). And, besides, what's to complain with Sigourney Weaver! ;)

It's really stunning visually, too. The ultimate paradise, especially with the phosphorescent plants, floating mountains and huge trees and waterfalls. One has to love the medusa-like seeds of the Sacred Tree. Amazing!

I just wish the Na'vi language book were real, I would love to learn Na'vi like Klingon and Sindarin. I'm a geek and very proud of it!
