Avatar completely doesn't suck.

The premise, of course, is irretrievable crap.

But beyond that, well, they managed to make a sensitive and thinky movie and still blow shit up.

So here are the complaints:

Their xenolinguist? Was clearly a human.

And their xenomusicologist? Was a human.

And their xenobiologist? Was a human. Who has seen Walking

Yes. And I was expecting irretrievable crap, having read something about the premise before I went, so this was a pleasant surprise.

Also, why random flying mountains? Well, ok, because they were pretty. But, you know, they looked like your standard fantasy flying mountains (why is it that we now know what the bases of flying mountains look like?) so they weren't really so originally pretty-looking they had to be included.

I did like that the six limbs, when they remembered they were doing this, were clearly two pairs of forelimbs and one pair of hindlimbs, which had more flavour than simply six limbs. But then they ruined it by not being consistent. Oh well.
