It is pure eye candy, but the story is laughable. Laser cats would have been 10x better.

Beside being derivative, the story pulls all sorts of cheap tricks to make you villanize the military and sympathize with the aliens. Looking back it seems pretty obvious and if I went in set to find flaws I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it either.
Whether you enjoyed your initial experience or not, everyone seems to agree it doesn't warrant repeat viewings, so I'm not sure how it did so well at the box office.
Like Liz said in 30 Rock:
It's not the military, it's a bunch of ex-military mercenaries hired by a private corporation.
It is a bunch of dummies who can't even kill some tree huggers.
I still havent seen this faggoty-ass furry fanfic film
Saw this a few nights ago. Agree, incredibly dumb. The first half was actually fairly entertaining, but once the dude was accepted in the tribe it went downhill quick. Not sure if it actually got worse or the spectacle just finally wore off.
I'm telling you guys, the movie doesn't exist anymore. Anybody seeing it for the first time right now isn't seeing it. I can't imagine how retarded this movie is on TV.
It still looks good, but the immersion is gone. It literally took over 45 minutes for everything to look okay. My mind was trying to adjust to the non-3D. That's how good the 3D was. Oh yeah the re-release in theaters is a month away. So, to those who never saw it in 3D now's your chance with the deleted scenes.
I watched it on bluray (well a rip) the other night. I thought it still looked great without the 3D. No way in hell I am watching it again, even in 3D.
I went in knowing basically nothing about the movie... I mean, I heard it was a lot like Ferngully, but that's about it.
Rerelease as: Dances With Aliens: The Last Rainforrest. please.
3D visuals don't make this movie any less dumb. It looked pretty damn good in my living room. Impressive and all that. I don't care how immersive the visuals are... the shit that happens in this movie is more than enough to pull anyone with an IQ over 80 or so out of it. If the DVD shipped with a Navi blowjob simulator, I still would have been pulled right out when the guy in the robot suit pulled out his ROBOT KNIFE.
Oh, and . Nigger please... shit could have been fucking 7D and it wouldn't have mattered. This was not a good movie. There is no justifying it.
