What they said. But that aspect didn't really bother me. It was as was stated, a mediocre story at best. But the wow factor was worth seeing all by itself. And I didn't see it in 3 D.

The most annoying aspect to me was the blatant Anti-American, Anti-Military, Get Out Of Iraq NOW, leanings of the movie. That movie as an art has a political point of view, fine. That it's a point of view that I don't share, also fine. But don't hit me over the head with your bias, tell the story in such a way that I can open my mind to your way of thinking.

But having said all that? It was still an entertaining movie, I enjoyed it and am glad I went to see it. It was visually gorgeous, and the special effects were jaw dropping.

God is everything is pantheism.

Panentheism is the view that God is in everything.

Really? I found it far more anti-colonial. I didn't get a hint of anti-Iraqi war. Especially considering that Cameron wrote most of the script in 1994...
