Highly enjoyable but....

Rating: 6/10 (30 April 2010)

Did anybody else feel that this was just "Fern Gully" for adults? The similarities in the essential plot and many characters and scenes and the message of the story was incredibly the same. The Na'vi were just like the fairies with their connection to the earth and living in a big tree, there was the Leader character, his daughter who fell in love with the Human who enters their world and teaches him about the earth, the religious female leader, the male fairy/Na'vi with the hots for the leaders daughter. The evil humans with their machines wanting to destroy the land. And the Male human who starts off a bad dude but realizes he made a mistake and helps the fairies/Na'vi stop the Humans. Hell they even had the montage with the couple running about and parts of the land and plants lighting up exactly like in "Fern Gully"!
It was a great film no doubt, action was great, the effects were as ground breaking as I'm sure they were expensive but it was completely unoriginal which would be fine if it wasn't being sold as some amazing new imaginative idea. Not worthy of being as highly rated as it is!
