BS, ...., some people try to read something into everything, ....., the movie is a very entertaining and enjoyable, and full of spectacular special effects - only narrow-minded bored nitwits would try to allege racism, ....., not that I have an opinion though.

I didn't get that out of it. 4 people thought what they were doing is wrong, different races and sex, all being human of course. I didn't see it as white race saving the day, I thought our hero was flawed in many ways, which all come in to help him.
Now, I thought the new Star Wars had some characters that had racial overtones.

I am not really a fan of animated movies (just a few exceptions) but...This movie have the power of transporting you to another world and kind of become part of the story.
No other movie before had that impact over me. And I think that s was the real intention of the movie. Not only to respect the differences in between us but How some one who believes and learned to love something will defend it no matter what. Let go the past and open up the heart to a new world a new Life!..with true Love.
sorry for getting emotional....LOL

No matter what you think of the movie or aren't into CGI dominated movies you should see this one since it was incredible and made me feel like I did when I saw Star Wars in the theater when I was 9.
The idea for the movie was written by a teenage Cameron so maybe a young mind might not have the most original story but it's still a decent story when we live in a world of movies that constantly mine the past and can't come up with too many original ideas anymore.
Sometimes the adult mind takes the fun out of fantasy movies.
