I haven’t seen Avatar. I tend to dislike cartoonish Disney-type movies. After reading Kurzweil’s review, I’m glad I skipped it!

The question is, though, is the criticism constructive? Are we better off after being criticized? Did we learn something new that we didn't know before? In the case of Ray Kurzweil my personal answer is: Absolutely! Plus, he is not just a critic but someone who has and is still practicing by being at the cutting edge of technology…

Yeah, Ray goes in some detail to criticize AVATAR and I bet a lot of people can benefit from reading his review and re-considering the movie…

Wow – I'm surprised to read such a harsh review of Avatar by Ray. As you said Nik, he raises some interesting points which I hadn't considered before (the role of women, the non-futuristic nature with the technological aspects of the movie, the lack of advanced plot development etc)

Thanks for the posting – it was an entertaining read!
