    Recommend with reservations.

    It's not perfect but it's not awful. As Neil said earlier, if falls short of what it could have been.

    I landed in a conversation yesterday with a girl who thought this was the worst film she'd ever seen. I defended it and I can think of plenty films worse than this one. Interesting how people can have such a low opinion of this.

    I hate people will silly binary opinions like this. If you can rationally and fairly discuss a film, you certainly should be rating it. I suspect a couple of you have seen me getting annoyed at folks using that term ("worse film ever" or "$hit") here.

    Anyway, obviously the film had some problems, but it also had some pretty strong aspects and were quite original too. I'd say it stuck with me longer than other supposedly "better" films..
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Guys, the movie you're thinking of doesn't go by Avatar, they shortened it to just "The Last Airbender."
