If it wasn't for the fabulous graphics "Avatar" would be yet another boring "boy meets girl" Hollywood film. It's not surprising that right-wingers don't like it; the once so strong american warmachine was destroyed by tribes using bow and arrow and flying on monsters. And their belowed capitalism was rejected took a blow. Perhaps they somehow know what is coming; the global collapse of capitalism, just like Maharishi predicted.
