The dubious science didn't bother me at all, though I did find myself trying to rationalize the floating mountains. Maybe they were made of, er, 'unobtainium', and that's quite magnetically charged? Wow, you put way more thought into this than I did. That works for me.
Having forgotten what you said about the "bonds", I was freaked out when Jakesully first bonded with the six-legged horse thing. I thought, 'Oh no, he's committed a serious Na'vi faux pas. He's raping that six-legged horse thing with his wormy hair thing.' Yeah, it seemed like bonding to your sex mate would be the natural use for them. Maybe it's not the case because then it would make the animal bonding thing 100 times creepier.
I didn't feel like the ending was a cop-out either, but omg didn't you see that coming like, the minute they landed on the planet? If my eyes hadn't been kept so busy with all of the pretty scenery, my brain might've just turned itself off for lack of anything to do. I don't try to predict endings because I'm always disappointed when I'm right, but I saw him permanently switching to his avatar as soon as they tried it and failed with Sigourney. Sure the ending was totally predictable, but I still left the theater on cloud nine and wishing I could ride one of those dragon beasties.
Dunno if this is just me but, um, I wear glasses. Can't see the screen without them. Have to wear the 3D glasses on top of them. Typically this is not a big deal with 3D, and I barely notice that I'm wearing two pairs. There was just so much going on in this movie, and the action scenes were so...spin-y, that my eyes hurt from trying to adjust. That sucks. Guess you're not going to run out and get one of these new 3D televisions that still need glasses to use? I know what you mean. The Coraline Blu-ray came with a 3D version that's virtually unwatchable. It gave me such a huge headache, and I don't even wear glasses. I hope Avatar holds up to plain old 2D, but either way I must own it.
