This movie is a technological wonder; a remarkable meld of CGI & live action. It may well raise the standard to which all 3D movies will be compared. The world created by such technology & imagination was mesmerizing & enchanting.For the sheer experience I would recommend it to anyone with an appreciation for fantasy & science fiction. As to the message;what an old, hackneyed theme: Evil corporation headed by greedy white guy with the help of military machine lead by a really mean white guy is bent on the destruction of a pristine world populated by peace-loving inhabitants. Ho-hum, been there, seen that. Other than the obvious "Pocahontas meets Ferngully" aspect this is an imagination-capturing movie & worth seeing.
