Is it worth going to? I heard it was a big "tree huger" fest with cat people and a super in your face "green" morality.

It's supposed to be great. Vapor and I tried to see it today only to find out that it was almost 3 hours long and we didn't have time. Definitely going to catch it next week some time.

I haven't seen it. And honestly, with the way people are foaming at the mouth about it, I am slightly turned off to the whole thing. As far as I can tell from trailers and interviews and such, it's just another overblown and overfunded hollywood rimjob.

Maybe I'll rent it someday...probably not.

I thought the movie was awesome. I see more parallels drawn to imperialism than tree huggery.

Yeah I noticed more similarities with American Indians plight than anything. The aliens even look like Native Americans.

Was good though.....CGI still wasn't as good as TF2, but with all the CGI they had, it is pretty amazing, but not perfect.

I admit the 3d version was an overdose of eye crack....

I see both ties to Native Americans and saving the environment.....But the thing didnt care for was how they depicted the military as a bunch of mindless killing machines....not to mention I think the marines broke just about every article of the Law of Armed Conflict during the film Rolling Eyes

But oh well it was a good action flick..... Very Happy

They weren't Marines, they were ex-Marines. They were working for a corporation, not a government.

I thought it was pretty clear, as the narration mentioned mercs 3 times in the first 20 min.

Yeah, I'd expect an organized group of mercenaries to look like military. I think that was done for realism and not to degrade those that serve in our armed forces.

As a native american i must say i've never seen a blue one of us. We are usually just overweight diabetics who drink too much.
