History Restranslated?

I am rarely impressed by James Cameron's writing, as it is often full of cliches and shallow plots. In a way, this isn't much different, playing off a Pocahantas theme. But all of this is forgivable when seen as a retranslation of the New World with 3D effects. The parallels between the indigenous population and Native Americans are obvious, and, as most have probably already said, the 3D effects are breath-taking. One important theme in this movie is that of "seeing." In a way, we truly "see" this new world from the native's eyes because of the 3D effects. An incredible sight. This makes me wander how differently did (or do) Native Americans see the New World and does this movie show us the contrast in a new way through allegory?
Yes, I recommend this movie.
