Avatar: The Apple, Candied

Hayao Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke and Castle in the Sky filmed as live action in the visually lush style of Terrence Malick's Thin Red Line, but with all its symbolism articulated in leaden expositional dialogue.  Eye candied Gia-land as the setting for a culture war fairytale pitting tree-huggery against corporate avarice...not as good as Miyazaki's or Malick's work, but as an immersive environment in I-max 3-D, there are much worse places to spend an afternoon.
