Nope! It was actually corporate's idea.

See, the thing is that they figured if you offer the Na'vi medicine and an education, they might be willing to work for you - the idea was that the Na'vi were already adapted to the environmen, much stronger than humans, and wouldn't take hundreds of millions of dollars apiece to transport to Pandora.

They brought the science team to educate the Na'vi so that the Na'vi would be able to mine the unobtainium for them.

It's a lot more cost effective that way.

Well then that's just another one of their mistakes and obviously wasn't cost effective.

Then of course you also realize you're committing the historian's fallacy, yeah?

I had made my decision before knowing that though so no fallacy on my part (well, except for the whole genocide thing)!

No, I mean your standing in judgment of their actions based on factors they couldn't have known about

Psh, I knew about it or at least guessed it would happen. Good enough for me since I'm the genocidal maniac.

The visual effects in the movie are phenomenal.

The story is pretty average.

If I had to choose between the two, I'd rather watch an old sci-fi movie that had crappy effects with an awesome story like Logan's Run.

I cringed hardcore every time they used the word "unobtainium". God, can't you be a bit more subtle? At least Pandora's named after a Greek Goddess that most of the population has never heard about.

I saw this in 3D, and was left wanting. Maybe I didn't do something right, because the only amazing scenes in #d were the little ashes of the tree floating around, that lasted a minute, and when the colonel was jumping off his crashing plane, which was just a few seconds.

My brother who is much younger than me also agreed on this part, the #d was not even mildly amazing, and it was 7 bucks wasted.

This is probably Cameron's shittiest movie.
