You know, it's tough to be an Avatar fan, having to contend with those damn Smurf fanbois..

That's my best guess.  Not that I'm an Avatar fan or anything.

I felt depressed when I walked out of the theater because I thought our planet was so ugly compared to Pandora. What a fun, and beautiful, movie.  :censored those who say it's 'just another Pocahontas'.

What? depressed? That doesn't make any sense to me. Just look around, we have a beautiful planet. And Pandora's landscape is based on the Earth, so we're not missing anything (beautiful trees, lakes, birds (small birds are much easier to deal with than giant birds), luminiscent plants and animals, etc). Besides, we have plenty of cool stuff we enjoy and makes our life easier, instead of having to sleep on trees.

Instead of crying about how our planet isn't amazing enough for you, join an environmental or conservationist group or something.

This. There are countless amazingly beautiful sights to be seen here on our own planet, and the best thing about them is that they're real. You can actually go see many of them for yourself.

It's more like Pocahontas, Fern Gully and Dances with Wolves.

Huh, I thought it was a common understanding that this movie was a one-trick pony with the occasional fancy 3-D visual that wouldn't stand the test of time and probably be forgotten 30 minutes after the first viewing.

Oh well, opinions n' stuff, I guess. Imbeciles.

No, I think the film has actually had more staying power than that.  Maybe not for me personally, but the wide praise of the film is evidence enough of that.

It's been almost two years since they released Avatar and I still occasionally catch myself thinking "Oh my God, they called it unobtainium."

Yes I am trusting wiki...

"Since the late 1950s,[1][2] aerospace engineers have used the term "unobtainium" when referring to unusual or costly materials, or when theoretically considering a material perfect for their needs in all respects, except that it does not exist. By the 1990s, the term was in wide use, even in formal engineering papers such as "Towards unobtainium [new composite materials for space applications]."[3] The word unobtainium may well have been coined in the aerospace industry to refer to materials capable of withstanding the extreme temperatures expected in reentry. Aerospace engineers are frequently tempted to design aircraft which require parts with strength or resilience beyond that of currently available materials."
