Not as good as I hoped

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2009)

If one sets aside, briefly, the technical aspects of this movie, it is a scifi version of Dances with Wolves. The plot and characters are as a predictable as gravity.
But then who goes to scifi movies for character development anyway, right? The new movie making techniques presented to us in this movie are the main reason and, I might suggest, the only reason for spending the bucks on this one.
How can a person be disappointed in a movie where all the action is predictable and you have other reasons for being there? So I guess it meets its expectations, fills the stereotypes well and satisfies after a fashion.
If in fact this technology is the future of film making then this is the first shot over the bow to watch out for. We can also expect higher and higher ticket prices because of the cost to do this well.
