Avatar - Dune comparisons
The "Avatar" is "Dances with Wolves" in space meme has been so flogged to death, that I thought I'd make this table outlining the parallels between James Cameron's 2009 space fantasy with Frank Herbert's "Dune" (1965 novel and later 1984 movie and 2000 miniseries).
Spoiler warning!
Update: I see there's a January 26th article "The Na’vi and the Fremen: What Science Fiction Teaches Us about Tribalism and the Mystic" which would seem to cover this same territory.
Update 2/26/10: video on YouTube drawing parallels
And a chart comparing Avatar to a bunch of other movies
