Exceeded my expectations....

... Which I must admit were not too high. I'm generally not a fan of sci-fi, and especially can't stand computer generated graphics in a movie. And predictably, I hated it at the start of the film. It all looked like a glorified cartoon. But soon enough I got immersed in the story and forgot about the cartoonish presentation.
I am generally a total sucker for movies about indigenous, 'primitive' people. In fact I'd love to learn from them how to live in the wild in various parts of the world, with no job, no mortgage, just hunting, gathering, and finding my place in nature and using its resources with skill. My favourite all-time movie is Apocalypto.
So it's no surprise really that this film entertained me. I'm not too fussed about 3D and the technical aspects, like I said if you don't get into the story, then it all looks like a video game, rather than a film.
Heard comments that this is as Anti-American movie. Hmmm I don't know, the movie certainly made heaps of money to some globalist Americans in Hollywood. Go figure. Maybe the makers are so arrogant they don't care what people think, as long as they get their money. I think the global market is increasingly anti-imperialist and eco-conscious, and the producers saw a demand for such a movie. Lucky for us. But wait till you can watch it cheap.
