You could take some LSD, watch dances with wolves followed the Smurf movie and feel that you had seen this. The movie is three dimensional but the characters are only two. It was written for the same audience that were shocked when the Titanic sunk in James Camerons last blockbuster. Cameron has not had an original movie for decades and the fact that this is a cover of an obscure english comic book, pocohontas, dances with wolves et all, is beside the point. Everything is derivitave nowdays and this was well done. This is a blockbuster because of the brilliant special effects. The story is as timeless as Columbus and the indigenous people are ar always, as pure and wholesome as the smurfs. But I found the preachy tone tiresome and it almost overwhelmed the little plot there was. I was betting with myself which human was going to get shot and then saved by the Maji sorry, I meant Navi. The finish was a set up for Avatar 2 and I could see a franchise similar to Terminator developing. God help us all.

Stunning! What a technical accomplishment! Could be best picture. It's that good. Eye popping entertainment made (at great expensive) by the best around.

Understand that this story is a twice told tale but they still manage to surprise you with some of the plot turns.

Yes this is worth seeing. But don't cheat yourself. See it at a first rate theater with a big screen if possible.

A distant planet inhabited by an exotic people are sitting on an enormously expensive mineral. Of course the big, presumably American company wants it. They send in a small team to infiltrate. They appear to be the same as the aliens but of course they are not. And of course boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back is at it's core. 

Interesting when you think of the parallel that jumps to mind with oil in Arabia or gold on an Indian reservation. Hey who are the good guys anyway? Tough to see our species get kick around so much. Needless to say this will not be Rush Limbaughs favorite film. Political correctness abounds and the human race are pretty much a group of stinkers.

Oh and if they left out one Marine or Army cliché dialog I can't guess what that is. Now get down and give me twenty, ladies!

Anyway the real story is the movie and it's maker, JAMES CAMERON. Mister C insisted the firm run 2 hours and over 45 minutes (we timed it). So get the big popcorn. And the score is vaguely reminisant of another Cameron hit "TITANIC." None the less .... SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
