OK, so I've seen it now.
In 3D.
Visually it could not be faulted - totally fantastic.
On to the things that ticked me off.
The plot was totally stolen from Anne McCafrey.
Every image on screen was stolen from Roger Dean (floating islands? stone arches? pur-lease), or Rodney Mathews (creatures), or Chris Achaellios (characters).
The plot was so full of holes it hurts - many covered in the spoilers above.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it a great deal - but is was lumpen, derivative schlock.
And another thing...
...the native creatures all had 6 limbs and 4 eyes. Except the flying ones, which have 4 limbs and 4 eyes. And the aborigines which have 4 limbs and 2 eyes.
Pretty odd way for evolution to operate, n'est ce pas?
