      Menceritakan suku bajo , sama ada tradisi berburu paus di scene pas jake sama suku laut berburu paus,itukan tradisi di halmahera,,sedangkan cerita avatar aja menceritakan invasi orang western melakukan kolonialisme dlu, yg awalnya niat hanya berdagang trus malah melakukan kolonialism dan exploitasi pengambilan SDA di negri2 seluruh dunia,di avatar 1 menceritakan kek kolonialism western terhadap afrika dan indian amerika dan asean, sedangakan kita orang indonesia jaman dlu jg masih mengkeramatkan pohon2 yg di anggap sakral dan suci,

    Game developers have been successful in building worlds because they have enough space and time to do it. But, this is the first time I saw a movie from a director who has the ability to create such a wonderful and detailed world like Pandora. It's beyond the imagination of many people's expectations of a movie. James Cameron is indeed a king of sequels.
