I guess I'm in the minority.....it was OK, saw it in Real 3D, and have the headache to prove it. It was a very pretty film, without much of an original story. But then, maybe there aren't any original stories out there anymore?

I think it was meant to be an archetypal story, a common legend/theme sort of thing. Although as a long time sci fi weenie, I think there ARE still original stories out there. This just wasn't intended to be one of them.

It was Pocahontas with better special effects and without all the singing.

Good Lord! So people outside of Norway do actually notice Norwegian films from time to time! Cool, I always thought it was just the journalists wanting it to be so...

We intended to see Avatar in IMAX, but every showing today, except the one at 10:30 this evening, was sold out. So "regular" 3D it was.
I've never seen Pocahontas, but while watching this, all I could think was "OMG...It's "Dances With Wolves" set in the future...not the past."
Think: Wounded soldier, sent to a remote outpost. Sent in among the natives. Learns their ways. Falls in love. Pitched battle against what he used to value.
