Avatar/ On Deadly Ground trailer mashup.mov

It's kind of scary how close this got.

In case you're one of these crusading people who feel the need to silence any dissent against this movie, recall two things.

-Your most popular argument against others is likely 'its only a movie'. Take your own advice.

-James Cameron will be crying all the way to the bank.

Seriously, this freaking movie needs to be taken down a peg. If you dare impugn the magic that is Avatar, prepare for an internet beat down.
While I was trying to remember other gigantic budget, ego trip/ cautionary environmental fables were out there now that Avatar is coming out, I recalled a little gem by Steven Seagal called On Deadly Ground with a very similar plot.
And by similar I mean nearly identical except for the blue aliens. Its sad then even are movies that are more original then the constant remakes, are actually inadvertent remakes of action movie star vehicles of yesteryear.
This movie, costing half billion dollars, has all the originality, emotional impact, and plot twists
...of a 1994 B-movie.
Take a little time to consider that. It still blows my mind.
If you got this far realize I'm just trying to inject a little humor into the situation.
Just a bit of fun, nothing more or less.
Don't take it personally.

Stop fighting ladies

@Covertpanda556

LONG past thankfully XD

Actually you don't understand the concept of racism. Racism means 'discrimination based on race'.

'You stink of human' is not a value judgement based on the lifestyle of the RDA.

Oh, and I'm familiar with that scene that was cut. Cameron figured his humans just weren't evil enough. I bet they were eating puppy sandwiches at the time.

@bloodrunsclear Oh, and again you don't seem to understand the concept of racism. The discrimination was not racial. The Na'vi had EVERY RIGHT to be suspicious of Sky People messing around on their turf, for the two groups were AT WAR! The conflict was ongoing. Prior to the film was an incident in which RDA SecOps troops OPENED FIRE ON CHILDREN. What are you advocating they do, invite the ENEMY in for dinner? By your definition, the US was "racist" in denouncing the Germans during World War 2.

@torukmakto4

You know what's unjust in society? Directors who live in mansions complaining about capitalism. Environmentalists frightening children into hating their parents. Hateful misanthropic propaganda being passed off as entertainment.

You want to address brutality? How about terrorists?

You want to address environmental destruction? How about China?

You want to address imperialism? How about North Korea?

You don't want to tackle problems, you just don't like this country.

@torukmakto4

Ah, the racial divisions are irrelevant. That would explain why humans are always referred to as 'aliens'. Likewise if it doesn't matter the Na'vi are human or not, why are they not?

Also a film in which the story, characters and plot makes no difference and the whole thing is just an excuse to push a message?

That's call propaganda.

@torukmakto4

In every way? WATCH MORE FILMS.

The plot is rote, the message is nonsensical, characters bland, music forgettable, world derivative. I've seen better environmental films, better sci-fi, better everything.

You only think its powerful because you agree with it.

Guess what? Some of us who don't subscribe to the cult of Global Warming or conspiracy theories don't think a film should be allowed to be lazy just because it sends a message.

Did you think Ferngully was powerful too?

[torukmakto4]

@bloodrunsclear ...That is what is attacked. You must not see things in such shades of black and white! Attacking injustice in society is NOT an attack on the society itself. It is a call for attention. Corporate corruption, resource conflicts, military and mercenary brutality, environmental destruction, imperialism... all are current issues that need to be identified and, ideally, mitigated! The worst thing to do is close your eyes to it all and hate anyone who brings it up.

@bloodrunsclear I love Avatar because it is an excellent film (*puts on flame suit and grabs fire extinguisher*) in every way. You are going to fight me on every point here, but I find it not only artistically significant as a work of cinema, but extremely powerful as a story. Its message is one I feel everyone on this planet should be aware of. There is nothing wrong with being hateful of corruption (ex. in corporate industry and the military-industrial complex as presented in Avatar).
