A visually Stunning mix of Starwars, Aliens and Dances with Wolves

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2009)

My wife and I just saw this and were blown away. The visual effects are masterful and the 3D gimmick actually works well for a movie like this.
The theme is not original, but who cares. The movie just sucks you in. Picture it as "Dances with Wolves,"... future world. You have that sappy "noble savage" stuff combined with hostility towards the military, but the sci-fi fantasy mix works.
We went to see this flick with more curiosity than belief that it was really that good. But early on, the acting and direction was so good that it was apparent the movie had potential. But oh, those visual effects really were spectacular.
Throw in Aliens and Star Wars concepts and it's a well done, winning combination that holds your interest. Time flies and you walk away exclaiming "wow."
