I loved Avatar, because the point of the movie is that you get to see this fantasy world in 3D and it was an amazing fantasy world. But it would have been a better movie if it had been in the format of a documentary, rather than the format of an action movie. Imagine if it had no plot, but the entire movie were just a guided tour through Pandora. Would that not have been one of the greatest fantasy movies ever?
Of course, no one would go to see that movie except for me. And it is a great movie as it is. So I can't say James Cameron made it wrong.
