The effects are quite dazzling, the artwork and compositing are top notch, the acting (facial capture?) was first rate, the pacing rolls along without too many lulls, and the climactic battles are pretty intense..., BUT the James Horner score made me think "Titanic" way too many times, the storyline was almost comical in its predictability, the political content was cartoonish at best, and on and on. It was a fun trip, but it ain't going to change the world. There was no "message" regarding how to deal with greed, cultural exploitation, special interests, military power or racial/tribal identification. Perhaps, though, the seed may well have been planted in some impressionable minds that native cultures should be celebrated and preserved.
