Back to our world, Avatar presents a mirror image critique of the present state of the human condition:
1. You could say we've came a long way from the stone age, but then again, by not improving upon the systems used so successfully in the previous centuries to deal with TODAY'S COMPLEX ISSUES, we are actually coming face to face with diseconomies of scale, the costs > the benefits.
2. "Dead World" means what? Cold winter from nuclear war? Food supply system devastated from the effects global warming? Supervirus epidemic? Social chaos from unsustainable overpopulation?
3. Most important, what is humanity's VALUE SYSTEM? From the movie it looks like the priorities are.. #1. Money, #2. Things (resources/fuel/beer), #3. People, #4. Flora & fauna -- as an afterthought.
My thought too. I felt the 'invasion' was just so American like, while the planet Pandora was Earth's counterpart of Iraq.1.

Like, the stuff they want are exactly underneath where they live? Couldn't sound more like the Iraq war to me XD
