Avatar (2009) to See or Not to See

The movie Avatar is due out in the theatre this December and I usually watch all types of sci fi movies but I have my doubts about seeing this particular film for two reasons. First, it looks like a video game and I have nothing against video games, I like them, but I would play one if that is what I wanted to do and not watch one in the theatre where I cannot make decisions. You can create believable aliens with excellent make-up instead of relying heavily on CGI, but that is my opinon. The second reason is this appears to me to be the same old story of one culture or race feeling superior to another and trying to conquer them and exploit their resources. I could watch the evening news for that instead of going to the theatre for the fancy version. I hope that science fiction movies in the future do not take this direction of an "us" vs "them" mindset and instead explore relationships between humans and aliens. I guess that is why I am a huge fan of the Star Trek Franchise and Stargate Franchise because they both explore relationships that are positive and negative, there are disputes, but for the most part, diplomatic solutions are sought, the suffering of war is exposed and how fighting should be the very last option. Well, I am still on the fence about this movie but here is a trailer to get an idea of what the film looks like.
