Wonderful effects, really , i mean stunning 3D. But that's it. If you want just pure effects and don't mind wasting money on the rest (dialog, acting, plot, etc) - then this movie is for you. Everything except the visually stunning flights and other CGI was absolute garbage one would expect from Hollywood these days.

If you want real exploration of nature and balance see Koyaanisqatsi - a true experience - a true new look at our own planet. If you want to explore the human feelings in relation to nature and exploring other worlds - the look at how alien other cultures might be and how we can understand them from within our own thoughts - see Tarkovsky (one of my favorite directors - although agreed not for everyone - Solaris would be a good one and if you're really up for deep thought - Stalker).

Finally, if you really want to see wonders, things you didn't know existed on our own planet - just see some BBC or other nature documentaries in high def... you'll be amazed.
