Kept waiting for "Colors of the Wind"

Rating: 4/10 (16 February 2010)

I had waited about 3 weeks after it's release to see the movie. I went into it hoping to see a great story with visually stunning effects. I walked feeling like I had already seen the movie before and was less than impressed with it's special effects.
The 3-D effects were much less than I had hoped for. I had seen 3-D movies in the past and was hoping to see more than bugs flying past me. Great idea, just poor application.
The story: What can I say? I kept waiting for Pocahontas to go by in a canoe at any point sing "Colors of the Wind". Disney's Pocahontas, Dances with Wolves, The Last Samurai, Avatar. They all have the same story line. So by midway through the movie I couldn't wait for the movie to end. It became overwhelmingly predictable and boring.
Unfortunate, because of the possibilities that this movie could have been, it turned out to be nothing more than an over-produced Disney rip-off.
