Alien version of Dancing with Wolves

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2009)

This is the alien version of "Dancing with Wolves". In this case, earthlings are encroaching on the aliens planet to strip it of it's natural resources. One earthling learns it's culture and falls in love with it's people, becoming one of them and choosing to fight against his own kind. The natives, like native Americans, refer to themselves as "The People", have a spiritual relationship with the planet and it's lifeforms, ride horselike animals, use bow and arrows, wear similar warpaint and yell same battle cries. This version has a happier ending. The movie is visually stunning with great 3-D affects. Although the storyline is familiar, the creatures and plant life are creative. I was a little disappointed that as advanced as earths technology was in the future we were still shooting bullets and still driven by corporate greed.
