The movie was beautifully done, with effects that were so good that it seemed realistic and believable. Unlike Stars Wars movies that were hokie and designed for kids, the storyline had deep political and historical perspectives. It intertwined the plight of the American Indians, the story of Pocahantas, our military efforts in the Middle East, and environmentalist passions into a work of art. My wife, who does not appreciate sci-fi at all, was very touched by the movie.
