While this movie is unquestionably a landmark in cg animation and world building, the plot is so utterly cliche that it was hard for me to care. Someone above admonished me for comparing this movie to Kevin Costner movies, but my entire family that I saw it will all said "that was just like dances with wolves combined with fern gully." sampling bias aside, this was a derivative movie with a heavy handed message that I'm not sure I liked very much anyway. Watch it for the spectacle, but I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed with how this movie does.

It's no Terminator or Aliens, that's for sure.

Addendum the first: I dig Sam Worthington and hope to see him continue to be cast. He was great in Salvation and here.

Addendum the second: there sure was a lot of fire for an atmosphere with no oxygen.
