couldn't watch the whole thing, painful

Rating: 3/10 (25 April 2015)

I have to admit that I couldn't sit through this, I just found it too cheezy, boring, generic and stopped watching roughly half way through the film. I find it quite shocking its the highest grossing film ever. OK so the soundtrack by James Horner is lackluster compared to some of his previous works (Land before Time, Titanic), I did not enjoy this soundtrack at all it was too generic and boring. The story of the film is just... so so so predictable and boring, I mean it's just ripped off Dances with Wolves or Pocahontas or any number of similar stories. It has the generic theme of the evil greedy imperial corporatism vs the nice peaceful at one with nature side who are the underdogs, and the romeo and juliet theme of someone from one side falling for someone from the other. There isn't much more to it than that, other than a lackluster soundtrack, bad acting and overuse of CGI. My girlfriend said she liked the CGI lighting in the film, all the bioluminescent flora and such, I can understand that but personally I'm not a huge fan of CGI as there are actually real things which look so much more impressive. I don't really see the point in watching this film though it kind of feels like it should have been a Disney animation for a younger audience instead, so I can kind of understand if younger people would like it.
