There was only one small part during the 2 1/2 + hour movie when I caught myself thinking it was a little slow. That thought lasted about 10 seconds, and never happened again. The plot will not shock anyone. But, the less-than-veiled sub-plots of environmental destruction and species genocide are very timely. An inter-species love story at the heart of this movie makes us realize we are not better than others, just slightly different. And, we should all respect those differences. The visuals are obviously what make this movie special. Adults will feel like kids watching this amazing movie for the first time. And, it's worth seeing again. Loved it!!! I do recommend seeing this film in 3-D. Just beautiful!!!
