A Netflix Movie

Rating: 4/10 (27 December 2009)

The visuals were amazing, I'll give James Cameron that. But the story was unoriginal and the audio wasn't nearly as good as some movies from the late 90's. There was an obvious undertone to the movie that would have liberal tree-huggers jumping for joy. Only in fairy tales would you have Caucasians and military be a bad thing.
This movie is simply Ferngully on video steroids. This is not a redefinition of movies. The Matrix was far more defining. This type of video from the consumer perspective was already done in Beowulf and 300 to name a few. The creatures weren't well thought of, George Lucas has much better imagination. I've seen all the flora on earth during my scuba dives, and the fauna were earth creatures with one extra tweak, the the main characters were just blue Indians, like The Blue Man Group meets Pocahontas.
Don't spend the money, wait until Netflix. The high rating will go down after the hype wears off.
