really really good, except for the ending

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2009)

This movie was fantastic, it had a very clear connection to Pocahontas with the plot and over all message which I thought was very cool. It was essentially a modernized sci-fi version of the Disney movie. The message was that we can't go around taking what we want and destroying everything else in our path because it will harm ourselves and others. It this case destroying the Na'vi's sacred land. (I think you should be able to see the connection to Pocahontas now) Not only was the overall story line and message great but the effects were amazing. Everything about this movie is fantastic, everything except for the ending. In my opinion they lessened their message by adding a nice happy ending, I just think they should have ended it with the soldiers crushing the Na'vi instead of them retreating because realistically that would have never happened. When the soldiers had to leave because the Na'vi beat them in the war it just lessened what was being laid down during the entire movie. There was no way the soldiers technology would be beat by the Na'vi people. If this had been real life it would played out exactly like the situation between the colonists and the native Americans. I know that the movie was unrealistic so i can't exactly expect the ending to be realistic because the modernized technology, avatars, and Pandora in general was fictitious but i just think the ending was uncreative and just took away from the mood the had set throughout the movie. It's a great movie and I definitely recommend it even though the ending was a bit of a let down.
