Reverse the ending and spend about $400 million more and you have Avatar. The special effects are awe-inspiring. But the awe wears out after about an hour, and then you still have about an hour and a half left to go...all hung on a story that an 8 year old would find predictable. Frankly, you could bring an 8 year old to this film. There's some comic book salty language and curiously blood-less violence (no doubt to keep the rating down to PG13 and the toys in McDonalds). And hinted nudity that would be thrilling to the under 13 set but weird to anyone with adult hormones.
