I feel like saying "James Cameron made a film about nothing" is unfair. I don't think it's about nothing. It's about colonialization. It's about inter-species racism, but in like a corporate kind of way.

And yet, it really feels like a film about nothing. I wonder why that is.

Is it just that it has nothing interesting to say about how colonialization works? It's been a long time since I've seen the film, but I do sort of remember it coming to really obvious conclusions.
