It was pretty good. A professor whose lab I worked in for 2yrs during college was a creative consultant for the film. Some of Sigourney Weaver's lines reminded me of working transects with her grad students back in the day. That this was probably an allegory for how some wish things had turned out with the Native Americans (or fill in the blank other minority group that the U.S. has waged war against) kind drug things down. But a lack of such political undertones is asking way too much of mainstream hollywood. Cool graphics, tolerable acting, very creative vision of an alternate world.
