Yesterday our friend Brian was kind enough to get us tickets to Avatar at the IMAX in 3D. The movie’s premise is that scientists and military personnel don native-esque bodies to better negotiate for precious resources with the blue First Nation’s people of Pandora. Due to a lack of truly shared qualia there’s a war, the myth of the noble nature savage is perpetuated and things go boom. It’s all very Daniel Dennett meets Disney’s Pocahontas with a little Braveheart thrown in for the action lovers. Essentially my summary is this: Robotic Exoskeletons + Philosophy of Consciousness + Monsters = MOSTLY AWESOME.
