I saw your comparison, I guess it makes a lot of sense comparing them, just not my cup of tea to reflect on either film much - talk about them and they'll make sequels (well, <em>Avatar</em> will get a sequel anyway...). But in any case, see <em>Moon</em> if you can, a much better film. :) I could add a ton of film comparisons, it’d be spoiler-riffic though, so ignore Souviks post if you want to avoid spoilers ;)

Someone just told me today that it was Pocahontas's plot with a few lines struck off. There are other reasons for which I like it though. A comparison with Surrogates would also be useful. In general, Andrew's reading is spot on. Yep, full of cliches it is. Someone just told me today that it was Pocahontas’s plot with a few lines struck off.
