Frankly there are a lot of problems with this movie, but overall I still think it's good and worth a watch. Specifically, I'd say the plot is pretty ordinary, but the technical details are all solid enough to be watchable.

So yea, the plot is basically just what you see anytime a white guy visits a different culture. At first he finds it dumb and then he gets into it and swings against the racist team he showed up with. I'm not saying doing that kind of plot sucks, just that this film does everything exactly the way I anticipate. The scene that really pops out to me is the talk when the head guy of the corp who just flat out lays the plot down with Ripley... I mean Sigourney Weaver.

Other than that, I've got a few nitpicks here and there. Like, whats the deal with the hair sex thing? That would be one thing on its own, but then you do that with animals too. Whaaaaaat? And what's the deal with such frequent slow motion? I mean, the movie is long enough as it is.

But, all of that isn't such a big deal because the effects are interesting enough to watch. This is very interesting technically, especially back in 2009 when it came out. I really like the look of the world they're in too. The forest/jungle looks awesome with those floating mountains, and the animal designs are nice. I love that the horse things sound exactly like the raptors in Jurassic Park. So yea, check it out for the technical stuff and I bet you'll be into it enough for at least one watch.
