I hate to be reminded of how many years it has been since I truly enjoyed a Sci-Fi movie for its plot or theme..... the last one was probably in black and white and filmed at Shepperton Studios (obviously not American). No, on second thought there was something commendable in Sleeper, Blade Runner and Soylent Green. There is a place for the truly uncomfortable solutions to world problems in sci-fi, it just isn't visited very often anymore.

But with the big bucks being forked over to have the world's children babysat in movie theatres instead of living life, of course the American movie industry has been dumbed-down to fit is paying clients. As for Avatar, it fits the description too. An immature treatment with lots of visual so the viewer doesn't have to do any thinking on their own.... and to some extent the experience is probably much better if they don't think about it too much.
