I have been waiting to see this since the script was announced 12 years ago and enjoy "the King of the Worlds" movies despite his magnificent ego.
For me it was a technical marvel, oversold a little on the 3d which was very good but not like it was advertised by Cameron which was stepping it up the level of the Matrix when it was introduced. It definitely was very good though.
The story was pretty solid, as many have said a copy of Last of the Mohicans but I also saw more Thunderheart, the great movie with Val Kilmer, than Mohicans. I have a tendency to really be taken by these types of stories so this worked on an emotional level for me.
