Avatar Film Review

I have to weigh in on the great special effects but the vapid story. Cameron missed great opportunities to demonstrate his knowledge of economics, by inserting gun runners into the fray.   There are a good many irrationalities that are not explored, like that weight/cost of a substance that defies gravity.  How stupid was that.  In a real freemarket universe smugglers would have been trading with the Naa'vi (short for Naive Blue Creatures) guns for the anti-gravity stuff.  The silliness continues with the Naa'vi having to form a hard interface with their creatures, haven't they heard of wi-fi?
