• What storytelling risks could Avatar have taken?
  at B² – having had about two weeks to unpack it now, I must say that I feel similarly. I hope to put together a more thorough write-up of the film here on F_D but the short-short version: it’s a good film with an OK story and great visual effects but there is absolutely no nuance or subtlety there. Also: the comment thread is great.
