Corrected entry: The flux vortex in the Hallelujah mountains interferes with the radio instruments on the drop ship due to intense magnetic flux in the area. However it does not interfere with the Avatars, which are "remote controlled".

Correction: "Remote conrolled" doesn't necessarily equal "radio controlled" 140 years in the future. In fact, in the case of the Avatar program, it obviously does not.

Phixius

Wrong, magnetism bends frequencies including light or radio. The magnetic flux is powerful enough to interfere with remote control signals even if it's 140 or 400 years into the future.

You are assuming that they used electromagnetic waves to control avatars. Or that the vortex had equal impact to all frequencies.

Corrected entry: In the scene where General Quaritch tilts the Dragon Bomber to throw Jake off balance [before he can throw the grenades], the huge bomb reverses back into the aircraft hold, in the process squashing the soldier in between. However, no blood stains or body parts are visible when the floor is revealed [after the bomb shifts sideways].

Correction: There would not necessarily be body parts or blood, as the improvised bomb is made up of many bags of explosives. While the size and weight of the payload would be enough to fatally crush/asphyxiate the soldier on impact, that doesn't mean he'd be squashed to a pulp.

The force would have been enough to lacerate or crush the head. There should have been blood stains.
