I loved it. I never watch movies within the first few days of release, but for some reason I did this time and I don't regret it...

Saw it earlier today.  Baller movie.
[spoiler]Basically, it's like this: the blue dudes are like Zerg combined with Night Elves with the religion of the Native Americans.  The humans are basically Blackwater with Goliaths and Banshees.  The planet they are on is actually a moon, and every living thing is connected/connectable to an Overmind like entity which they don't explain in depth.  And at the end the Overmind calls out Ultralisks and a metric fuckton of Scourgalisks (They look like Mutalisks kind of, but don't shoot anything.  They go in for melee but don't explode).[/spoiler]

I thought immediately of night elves when I saw them, but my thoughts never wandered into what Blizzard creations everything resembled so in-depth.

This movie was awesome. I saw it in IMAX 3D which made it even better. Great message, emotional, family friendly, and visually stunning.

I personally disliked the negative connotation they associated with the military, there were definite undertones of that.

It wasn't negative connotations about the military, it was negative connotations about a corporate entity controlling a private army (like my spoiler said Blackwater).  Imagine if Blackwater was only interested in certain parts of Iraq because there was a massive oil field filled with diamonds and gold sitting directly under Bhahghdhahahdh.

Yeah, it did that, but you can't tell me that doesn't also reflect negatively on the military

Don't be so sensitive, pansy! Corporate controlled military sucks ass.

[spoiler]I saw it in 3D.  It would have been cool to see in IMAX 3D.  I thought it was a nice movie, but honestly, it wasn't a great movie.  I liked it, I liked the message, I liked the story, and I liked the effects... but it just wasn't brilliant.  The love interest wasn't developed, and in general, character development and content were not that high.  It can't be compared to The Godfather, Blade Runner, or other movies of that calibre.[/spoiler]

The IMAX 3D version was awesome to watch though

This movie sucked. I was on the brink of falling asleep. Although it was pretty.

It was OK.  Visually gorgeous, but I agree 100% with the movie critic reviews of it.  Beyond the technology and eye candy... a bit boring and very predictable.

Dunno. What's with your spaces BEFORE your post?

I think that's arbitrary, but at least understandable.  It creates a distinguishable visual effect that some find desirable (e.g., me).  Are you trying to force people to have ugly spaces inside their quote boxes?  jerk!

You put less space above this time. Be more consistent!

To quote my friend, who seems to have the general opinion as the rest of the public:
(15:07:34) Friend: why didn't u like it?
(15:07:43) Me: i fell asleep
(15:07:44) Me: it was boring
(15:07:53) Me: it was pretty to look at, but i'm not a three year old and am not impressed by visuals alone
(15:08:05) Me: the story was bland and a direct rip off of Dances with Wolves or Pocahantas
(15:08:14) Me: the physics was retarded. floating mountains and a big "flux field"??
(15:08:15) Me: seriously?
(15:08:36) Friend: the visuals were what made it awesome
(15:08:38) Me: mostly it was just really really boring
(15:08:42) Me: see, i'm not three
(15:08:45) Me: i don't care if it looks pretty
(15:08:47) Me: i want it to be good
(15:08:51) Me: for me to think it's good
