Patrick!
Dans le Francais terrible: J'aime beaucoup votre analogie a la cuisson.
Je pense que toute la science-fiction est un ragout de vieux legumes. Leur succes depend toujours des epices supplementaires par le directeur. Plusieurs des ingredients du "Avatar" ont ete goutes avant, mais c'est les proportions et la profondeur epiques de la logique interne qui la fait reussir a ce un niveau. - C'est la combinaision, la recette est unique. Bien que "Star Wars" si nouveau a fait une plus grande agitation que "Avatar", je se rappellent le nombre de critiques qui ont compte le nombre de composants de "Star Wars" qu'ils avaient vu dans d'autres endroits. Dans le originale "Star Wars", la scene de taverne a serait un cliche meme en 1977!
Nous devrions nous rappeler que ce film etait un ragout fait pour des garcons de 13 ans.
Oui! Cameron a fait cuire vers le haut un orage nouveau de vieux.

English: All science fiction seems to me a new idea for a stew of old vegetables. There is always recycling, and their success always depends on a stimulating original recipe- the "spices" added by the director. Many of the ingredients of "Avatar" have been tasted before- there were a number of borrowings from Cameron's "Aliens" and remember Cameron was executive producer- influenced the look of Soderbergh's version of Solaris". It is the epic proportions and depth of internal logic that makes it succeed on that one level. It is the combination, the recipe is unique.
Although "Star Wars" when new made a larger fuss than Avatar, I remember the number of reviewers who counted the number of components of "Star Wars" that they had seen- or read about- in other places. The aliens' tavern scene was mentioned as a sci-fi cliche even in 1977!
We should keep in mind that the Avatar demographic is as for Star Wars, Star Trek, LotR, and etc.- made for 13 year old boys. In my view Cameron cooked up a storm- new from old- a technical masterpiece.
