Yes,it's the same old storyline, but done in a visually stunning way. It incorporated many layers of themes so there's a little something for everyone. It's like Matrix meets Dances With Wolves meets Star Wars meets Fern Gully (1992 Australian animation released by 20th Century Fox) with visual effects adding a depth of thrill the aforementioned weren't capable of providing.Perhaps when more of humanity's consciousness is elevated to the point where soulful right-action is more common-place,then maybe humanity's films will become less repetitive and the storylines will broaden and deepen.Art reflects life and consciousness.See Avatar (in IMAX 3-D if you can) and enjoy the ride!
