Thought it would be cool to rewatch this the way I originally saw it back in 2009... on the jumbo iMax for the full experience. While visually stunning to some degree in today's modern world, it is no longer nearly as impressive as it used to seem to me. I own it on blueray as well but have never watched it given the lack of interest in the story and characters, but it was just "the movie to own" along with the Transformers and Star Wars collections. Ended up overhyping myself as I literally haven't seen it in probably a decade.

The story feels a lot like Pocahontas meets (insert sci-fi movie here) and doesn't leave me really open for the idea of a sequel. The story wraps up ok, villain is gone, invading forces are pushed back etc. Just been done before and done after and it left me pretty bored throughout. I was hoping for that little kid wow factor I used to have but this movie seems to be a rose tinted glasses memory. I'm glad some people like it, but yeah... I'm not paying another $30 to see it again, and will likely wait for the sequel to release on streaming services to watch that.
