Avatar has an Old Fashioned Storyline.

“Avatar” is a good old-fashioned cowboy and Indian story complete with the reluctant Indian maiden, the bronco busting cowboy who tames both the maiden and the “untamable” wild stallion. There is the noble savage being victimized by the relentless invaders who, motivated by greed, try to seize their pristine lands. Finally, the foreign hero gains understanding of the immoral goals of the invaders, then saves the imperiled good guys. The 3D and digital technology are hot. “Avatar” should win an award for technology, not for Best Picture.
