This movie... Yeah. It's much better for a one-time viewing. After you watch it a second or third time, it gets pretty meh. Despite the generic plot, the movie is kind of fun to watch. The twist of the "guy saves new world and natives from invaders" but Recycled In Space is kind of cool to watch for the first time, but the second time I watched it I just found myself really bored. Like everyone else, though, I will commend the visuals. Even if you don't enjoy the plot or dialogue or characters, you can at least keep yourself entertained by the pretty colors. Avatar has it's flaws but world creating is NOT one of them. The alien creatures are very creative, and I loved the use of bioluminesence in the rainforest setting. Those floating mountains, even if they aren't plausible like some say (I can't tell you for myself, I was never good at the non-biology sciences) they look REALLY awesome. You can tell the designers went all out making the world look as cool and realistic as possible, while still keeping an alien feel to it.
A lot of people accuse the movie of having an Anvilicious moral, but I'll mostly stay out of that because some people, like me, think Some Anvils Need To Be Dropped, so your mileage may vary on that one. All in all, it's kind of a cool movie, but it's kind of boring after the first time, thanks to the rather cliche plot and average writing. I do recommend seeing it, though, at the very least for the kickass visuals.
