The film received mostly positive reviews from critics, partially due to the hype surrounding its release, with some calling it the ''[[Star Wars]]'' of its time. Some criticized the film for having a clichéd, predictable storyline, and for relying too heavily on special effects. Since its release it has gradually fallen on the IMDB top 250 and, as of 2012, is no longer on the list. The various themes of the film drew strong reactions too, both for and against. Some conservative critics criticized the film for being liberal, anti-American and pro-environmentalist. Other critics felt the film had a [[racism|racist]] theme, where the white hero once again saves the primitive natives. There was also criticism about the fact the lead scientist of the Avatar project (played by Sigourney Weaver) was a chain smoker.
