I was prepared to put this movie in the same category as other groundbreaking effects movies with weak plots, like _Tron, The Last Starfighter, Final Fantasy, Sky Captain…_, but it looks _Avatar_ has made more money then all of them combined, several times over. I’m not sure why - it’s not a better movie then any of the above.
