Corrected entry: To speak to each other when they are out of the range of hearing each other, they have communication devices around their necks and they press it when they want to talk. But quite a few times sometimes they use it and sometimes they don't, eg, when Jake goes out with Sigourney in the helicopter, as Avatars, Jake wanders off and Sigourney speaks to him through the communications device, but later, when they are the same distance apart, she just talks to him normally.

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.
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: Before decanting, the avatars have been maturing for six years in a sealed tank without consciousness, and yet the hair around their queue is in braids. Scuba-beautician?

Corrected entry: In the first exterior shot of the starship at the beginning of the movie, it is facing the wrong direction. It must have been facing backwards (away from Pandora) to decelerate from cruising speed, and would also need to be facing backwards for its upcoming orbital insertion burn. Turning the ship forwards between deceleration and orbital insertion would waste fuel and accomplish nothing.

Correction: He's within hearing range, so choosing whether or not to use the radio isn't really a mistake.
