The overall viewing experience was outstanding. I didn't care much for the "politically correct" story line [industry bad, tree huggers-good] and it had a faint scent of "Dances WIth Wolves". However, the visual effects were beyond description in both their scope and effect. The acting was a bit 2-dimensional with the bad guys being all bad, completely devoid of any redeeming qualities and the good guys were virtually perfect (see previous comment on DWW). But in spite of all of this, I couldn't help but enjoy myself.
