It is way more explicit in it’s tone than the theatrical release. They have a shot that is on the modern earth which is basically YIMBY heaven and I was already laughing. Seeing the full scale of Tree 9/11 hits different too. It is way longer, and they straight up gas the Na’Vi. He could not have been more open about it. I should probably go and check out the box office version again but the extra 20 minutes the James Cameron Directors Cut adds is so valuable that I would actually recommend you watch it instead, especially if you are watching with anyone else.

Full seriousness: Avatar good. People still relate to the Na’Vi and it is super clear that the space marines are Americans (and people want them to lose) (and are the bad guys).
