I don’t have words.
The movie is just non-stop humans being absolute colonizer monsters and the people (and creatures) of Pandora, who want to live in peace, being forced to fight back (and kicking human ass).
The movie lives and dies by it’s visual effects and by god are they incredible. Pandora is just such a beautiful world, and Cameron lets you experience it in all its beauty and unity and peace before he shows the ugly human machines and weapons kill and destroy it. You feel the pain and the righteous anger when the Navi fight back. I was cheering for every human death of which there are many.
Is the story perfect? Nah. There are points where it’s cliche etc but I don’t mind that. There is a larger story about nature and colonisation and that’s what matters so much more. Pandora is a world that can fight back because the world itself is alive and connected and god just imagine if Earth was like that.
I’m definitely gonna see it again and I’m super pumped for the sequels.

I don’t understand your point?
Do you want a scene of humans on Earth protesting against Pandora’s colonisation?
Cameron has said Earth will play a bigger role in future movies, so I’m sure they’ll show how humans are suffering too (outside of that extended cut).
But right now this movie is in Pandora and from the perspective of the colonised. It’d be super weird to force a scene like that in.
Like, it’s wild to expect colonized people to have a “nuanced” view on the issue and say “not all sky people are bad” while they’re actively being colonized.
Like, right now all the Navi was separated into different tribes, each fighting their own battles. A major point of the series is how all the Navi need to set aside their differences and unite to face the much, much greater threat.
