Not about air-bending...
A new, technological re-make of ... Fern Gully. I mean does everyone not see this? I'll see the movie for the effects, but the story is OLD, and it is getting older since nothing changes in these movies. Male is 'seduced' by a 'local' girl to support her side. blah blah blah.
I would much rather had no local interaction and the 'intruder' realize, on his own, that what they were doing is wrong. Why does it take someone else to make us realize we should stop doing something? This 'teaches' the young to not think for themselves... He could have had a 'relampago' moment of realization that what they were doing is wrong--perhaps in discussions with others on his 'team.' The movie could have been about how he struggled within the system while helping the 'locals.' I think that would have been a better movie.
Talk to your kids about critical thought and why they should think for themselves rather than just 'accept.'
