Great effects/old story

Rating: 5/10 (29 December 2009)

Rainn Wilson calls it "Dancing with Avatars", which is accurate. It's more or less a Native American allegory. Astonishing effects and production, with a been there/done that story. No film has ever had a greater disconnect between its form (digital and violent) and content (respect the earth, its spirits, and its native people who are connected with it).
On the drive home I heard a story on "The Moth" that had more true humanity in 15 minutes than Avatar has in its 2.5 hours.
The trailer for Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" looks interesting, though.
