Not an original story

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2010)

I am an avid sci-fi reader from the days of the 10 cent paperbacks. One of my anthology collections had this story in it, almost verbatim. But that being said, it is a wonderful, rollicking, happy and sad film. The special effects were hard to believe, going far beyond the Star Wars and Lord of The Rings series'. I do agree that the female character neytiri was quite attractive. Sitting next to my wife in the theater here in the Philippines (I am on extended vacation) I pointed out to her how much the character looked like she does. It is always fun to see the actor's face without the makeup, and HOW DID THEY DO THOSE EYES??? Someone was asking me if there might be a sequel, and I suppose it could happen, maybe a "revenge of the earthlings" type scenario...but regardless this film is extraordinary, even if totally borrowed from old sci-fi. Some day I will remember who wrote the story and relate it here. For now..GO SEE THIS FILM!!
