This is basically the classic Pochahontas-story. White settlers want to steal land from natives, butt then their best man fall in love with the native princess. And then he backstabbs his own people, like a classic Benedict Arnold, or Norway’s most famous Quisling. The natives with bow and arrows will again beat the modern general Custer despite his modern weapons, firearms and choppers. Been there, done that. Sorry Kurt, no + to you.

It’s called a typo, Aldertag.

Kind of like “abour” in your post.

I agree with Adlertag, any reasonable adult should be able to see from the trailer this movie is going to blow, this movie is crap, complete and utter crap, and I gaurentee watching it will lower anyones IQ a least a point.
Its just a bunch of cliches, plus some blue indians i could care less about. How can i give $h^& about some traitor who sides with a bunch of savages to oppose his own people who accaully have a plan and a vision of civilzation?

Are you really a traitor if you do not share the beliefs of “your people”

Im not uptight, i am tring to keep the film industry honest(perhaps its a lost cause).

issues of soceity are insperably connnected to entertainement. Not only does the tralier reveal what is likly the enite plot, but the aliens are not even cool looking, and the marines are exactly the same from Aliens. The whole movie seems like it is a rip off of Aliens(Cameron;s own film) except now the aliens look more like humans, and since they look like us it must mean that they are good and so we should care about them. The whole movie is a insult to the inteligence of the audience, and its just scam, watch Aliens and then watch an episode of the smurfs and thats what this movie equals. Cameron stopped making good movies in 1994 anyways.

This film also seems alot like the Last Samurai, except without Tom Cruise(who is an amazing actor, even if is not exactly sane) and without a cool group die-hard warriors who valiantly fight but are killed by more modern and supierior methods of war. In all liklyhood  Avatar will have the smurfs win, further purging the story of any meaning.

Well, the “smurfs” as you call them, do have some Very Large Creatures supporting them. From the trailer I could identify a giant tiger, a monster godzilla, mr Twinkle and mrs Tiggywinkle, and they all put up a good fight against the choppers.

Yeah, the smurfs in the movie will probably put up a better fight than Norway did against Germany.

Uh…what?  It looks nothing like Aliens and how can someone rip off their own movie?

So I can see a decent movie at the theater at least once a year.

The Marines are exactly the same, same actress, his just trying to cash in, its all a cliche.

It dosnt make any sence,  like they say in the trailer their going up against gunships with bow and arrows. It less the movie has some clever way of them winning, the movie is just going to be about how although one side is weaker because of their goodness and desire to win they are vicotrious. Its a stupid nonsensical formula.

[Imperious Leader]

It looks like Starship Troopers or jar jar binks planet farce, except with a love story.

1. humans need raw materials

2. humans tell indians  aliens to vacate

3. Aliens say “this is our land pale face”

4. handsome man falls in love with women, who he was originally supposed to negotiate plastic beads for sale of land ( think what we did with new york)

5. Handsome man fights the humans to support the indians aliens culture.

6. Casio is built, humans spend all their money on gambling, Indians aliens have the last laugh.

7. Sequel is announced and many toy promotions occur at Taco Bell ( as usual)

I think i seem this story before?

I know this, my wife is excited about the movie. So I will see it.

Yes, butt we did not have Very Large Creatures to support us.

Go see a documentary if you want honesty in a movie.  Pretty much every movie in the history of film is a story and a method of escape.

Every movie is trying to cash in.  That’s the freaking point.

It’s a movie, not a gameplan for your existence.

When i said i am trying to keep them honest, i meant that i want movies to be art not robberies. Did you really think i was talking about  accuracy in a SciFi movie. This is a SciFi film you know?

I dont like films that simply are made to cash in, i like films that are art. I can give you a number of reasons why I feel this way if you dont understand?

I dont  understand your last comment.
