Awesome effects and the acting is good enough.Mini threads and shades of Alien and Matrix but the meat of the whole story boils down to Red ( blue aliens ) indians who are on the side of mother nature ( Gaia tree hugging environmentalists ) against Corporate America/marines war machine.
In Hollywood , the Corporations lose.Interesting animus of Hollywood on view .I wonder how Conservatives view this film.Hollywood functions as an inner fantasy that salves against the reality that is diametrically opposite.
But no doubting the power and vision of the effects .Well done Cameroon.Feel like watching it all over again …this time in 3D.
PS..it has the usual plot …American joins natives who disrespect him and he wins them over by proving himself better than the natives at whatever they do ( Tom Cruise in Samurai ..or Dance with the Wolves etc etc ).And the chiefs daughter is the forbidden love who is the love interest to the local Alpha male . Very typical plot for Hollywood.Thats why the plot is totally unremarkable ….yet the acting /CGI acting is very good and the FX are just too good looking that they cover over the deficiencies handsomely.
