This movie just shows us that we should protect the environment. Most of us think of the future as a cool, amazing place but in this movie it shows that the earth is all brown and destroyed. And now the planet of the Navi's is the next victim for humans. Protect the environment and be Earth friendly!

This movie isn't very heavy as far as a deep meaning, it's mostly good for it's visuals, but what I took as the main idea of this movie is that imperialism is bad. Think about it, the human's imperialization of the natives (Na'vi I think they were called?) is very much like imperialization in our own history, such as trying to get the natives to adapt to our culture by learning our language and the humans using their resources.

This movie is about how everything that has been created is connected. Also how your dreams can create a new life basically.

This movie is trying to highlight what we are doing here on earth. We have forgotten that "we belong to the earth NOT that the earth belongs to us" and this movie is a perfect example of that. When they talk about how "the planet where the people come from is brown with no green" they are referring to earth and the destruction we as humans are doing with our greed. Thick about it. We dump everything in landfills, pollute the air, are irresponsible with living a disposable lifestyle....we will one day end up like the humans on avatar. In search of another place to live because we destroyed the earth. It makes me sad that people don't see the parallels of this movie with our planet earth.

People are missing the meaning of the movie.

Of course, we loose touch with our mother earth, basic meaning of the movie.

But it also shows a common characteristic of us, how we want to conquer everything, how we don't know how to accept other beliefs and act completely selfish on other cultures, religions, races, etc...

It shows that once you're on the other side, and see it through their eyes (metaphorically) you learn about them, learn to understand and finally accept them.

It mirrors the thousands of wars fought in our existence. Wars started by cultural differences, minerals, etc...

How we'd do anything to achieve what we want to, without having any respect for the other, the selfishness of the human being throughout history reflected in one big blockbuster movie.

Guess most people were just there for the 3D and special effects...

Watch this movie with the original colonization of America in mind. The humans being the British with their guns ships and technology and the natives being the American Indians. This may not be the purpose or meaning of the movie but there are a lot of uncanny similarities.

The film is partially about the environment, but its also criticism of the war in the Middle East. The humans go after "unobtainium" (yes, I too laughed at such a stupid name for an element) which is not only all over the planet but the largest cache is directly beneath the Home Tree of the Na'vi. When the company desires more and more, they seek first a peaceful solution, but feel they lost that advantage. Using force, the humans destroy the tree and seek to wipe out the Na'vi. Cameron is criticizing the tactics of the US war machine and its goal of oil control.
