This movie remind me indians in space.

I just saw the movie and to me, the story was the most important part.

I thought the corporate involvement/exploitation of natives was a very minor point of the story, which, IMO, focused on religion and the conversion of Jake from the modern mindset to that of nature-worship. How embracing his humanity made him complete and expelled "evil" from him. On an (even more) personal note, I liked the role science played in the story . Of course, all of this could be just me, since the spiritual beliefs of the blue people are a lot like mine, but that doesn't change a thing - the text is mine to read

A bit of a SPOILER:

I think some of the most important moments of the movie was when Jake talks to the Tree of Souls and asks "nature" to look into Grace's memories to see that we've killed our mother and when the army guy shows his video log where he says we have nothing to offer the blue people.

Maybe I'll have to take a look (perhaps in three years' time on a dubbed Russian pirate version, of course.)

Why wait so long? Avatar with dodgy Russian subtitles.

I saw this movie last week, the special effects are good, but the plot is lame and the characters are very stereotypical and one-dimensional. The plot seems copied from a cartoon movie I saw when I was a kid called Ferngully, also the battle scenes reminded me of Star Wars Episode 1 a lot. Also many gaps in logic, for example bows & arrows penetrating the cockpits of helicopter gunships in the last battle scene, whereas previously they had been unable to do so. If you can see the movie in 3D Imax then it's worth seeing, but otherwise definately not.

Those were smaller, the typical poison-arrows, fired from the ground.

In the last battle scene they used obviously bigger and heavier arrows, fired from above and at a closer distance. So they didnt mention those change of the strategy and equipment in the movie, but it was logical to adapt to the new conditions and shown clearly.
