It sounds like I'm not the only one who thought it was worth seeing. It seems like it's the sort of film that'll be good to know even if you don't love it because everyone has already been coming up with all sorts of Avatar references. And I think Karen's idea of a naturally glowing garden is one someone needs to make a reality. That would be a garden I'd rush to, even before lining up to see Avatar.

Don't know how they would transplant to make a night-glowing garden. I usually don't have much success transplanting fungii, no matter how much mycelium and humus I bring along. I too was fixated on the familiarity of the Pandoran botany, with a large nod to sea fauna. The fungii that closed up were so like sea anemonae. The seeds were of course like jellyfish.

It was a visual feast along with a sweet if violent love story. I will be seeing it again, this time with more attention to the flora and fauna. I loved the glow in the dark forest scenes the best, but the whole experience was very satisfying. This is one movie that lived up to the hype and more.

All of the flora and fauna in the film had some basis in reality or at least in historical myth. In other words, everything looked and sounded realistic and familiar while at the same time being entirely new and strange. Do yourselves a favor and see this film on a big screen and in 3-D. Truly stunning...

It is a visual feast of a movie for gardeners, and really needs to be seen on a really big screen. Thanks for the info, I enjoyed reading that interview.

I've seen the 1st, not the 2nd, and can add my praise for the extraterrestrial foliage in the movie. It's incredibly well done, and I'd love to see the movie again for that alone. As for the plot, yes, it's simplistic, but actually I really enjoyed the whole movie. Good acting, good visuals, a green message.
