OK this movie does use a lot of stereotypical character types and cliche' to deliver a message that is rather predictable. All that being said - this is a great movie in the vein of Star Wars. It is a both a classic story and a current statement about the abuses of empire and the mistreatment of indigenous peoples by uncaring, conquering forces. While that message my go unnoticed by many movie-goers it's a story that many others will take to heart. This is a must see movie for adults, young adults and maybe even some kids who can handle the action and battle violence.
