From Lucretiae: We also went to see Avatar yesterday but only the 2D version. Loved it. So pretty, such excellent CG. Movies like this aren't supposed to be realistic, they are fiction so just check your brain at the door and enjoy the ride! Thinking about them too hard just ruins it. They wouldn't have dropped trees on them because that would have meant chopping them down. Herding big nasty animals from horseback might not be feasible. Would you herd something akin to a rhino the size of an elephant with a bad temper from horseback? I wouldn't. And besides, it might have gone against their principles to use the animals in that way. Damn it! Now you made me think about it!
