Really? It's a 3 hour Pocahontas, 2009 style.

Rating: 2/10 (9 January 2010)

The one thing that is revolutionary about this film is its reallyreallyreally pretty special effects. And I must say, they are quite dazzling.
They're also the only reason to even consider watching this film.
Yes, it has some very good messages-quit screwing up the environment because we're killing our own planet, we should respect the native people of new places we encounter, we're awful and terrible people who deserve to die on our rotting Earth, and so on. But none of them are original. Every single idea this movie presents has already been presented, and much more eloquently. I know that every story has been told before, but photocopying an old script and changing the names is cheating. This movie is predictable, much too long, boasts cookie-cutter characters (the eccentric scientist, the heartless businessman, the bloodthirsty colonel, etc), has a remarkably unremarkable script that is acted in a supremely mediocre fashion, and conveys its ideas with such ham-handedness that it feels as though it is smacking the viewer repeatedly with a flyer for Greenpeace. The only thing astounding about this movie is that it has proved how easily the modern moviegoer can be duped into worshiping a movie through visual bedazzlement. Oh, and I hope to high heaven that this 3D craze will end soon. It lends nothing to the experience besides a slight headache.
