Our protagonist is there to spy out for an invasion by an advanced civilization, but after he infiltrates the "enemy" he goes native and turns against his masters, since the human invaders with all their advanced technology don't have the moral high ground over the simple alien jungle-dwellers -- think <i>Dances with Wolves</i>, only with more CGI.

Bummer, I'm coming to like Ms. Bullock's work more and more, especially the romantic comedies. And she was great in <i>Crash</i>. Hopefully there are no BDS moments in <i>Avatar</i>, altough I'm sure some diligent screenwriting true-believer would find one.
