Meh.... Much as Cameron tried to preach the environmentalist wacko gospel, Avatar was a sort of inadvertently left-handed libertarian movie.And btw - he forgot Avatar.
Think about it....Big, overbearing, avaricious gubmint declares "eminent domain" over the property of its rightful owners, who are obviously far too rustic and provincial to know what's ultimately in their best interests.
Just as in Rand's dreary novels, the protagonists are flimsy, cliched, two dimensional and predictable. Meanwhile, the antagonists are a rich portrait of the authoritarian mindset, that holds complete contempt whatsoever for the lifestyle and traditions of their would-be subjects, who wish nothing more than to be left alone, which could easily be pulled straight out of today's political headlines.
