Disappointed....

Rating: 5/10 (19 December 2009)

I really had high hopes for this movie as I absolutely loved his previous films. This film had great special effects and good actors but the writing was pretty bland and unimaginative. It seemed like a rehash of Dances with Wolves with a little bit of Aliens thrown in. The premise and the lines were both cheesy and geared towards a kid. It really just seemed like they were out to make a quick buck without putting any effort into the story. Granted it will probably appeal to a very wide range of people meaning it will do great. I really had higher hopes though and was disappointed. The bad guys seemed very clichéd and the people were pretty cut and dry. They were black and white as far as being good or bad and lacked the complexity of having shades of Grey.
