Provide a brief description of the film/program's story plot for our readers 

The story is about a man who takes his brothers place on a mission on a planet called Pandora. He is a twin and so he becomes a dreamwalker to be friends with the native's of this planet to get them to move. In doing his mission he sees that the people of this planet are peace loving and connected to nature and the people that have invaded the planet for it's minerals are really the savages. In the end he saves the natives and becomes one of them.

It is very similar to what takes place on our planet. Nice to see some truth about where people should be focusing, hope they get it.

What is your personal opinion of this film/program, as entertainment?  

Excellent!! It showed that the people were peace loving, but stood up for themselves when attacked and that nature also helped. The special effects were awesome, Loved the flying birds they rode. I love the way they portray the military as this is how I see them. Especially the hard line top brass guy. They really need to connect with nature instead of seeing dollar signs.

What is your personal opinion of this film/program as a social and/or cultural message? Does it succeed or fail in this regard? 

Highly successful, it shows that we need to be peaceful and connect to nature.

What impact do you feel the movie will likely have on the way people worldwide will perceive the Mayan Calendar? 

Maybe they will connect that it is not the end of the world, but defeating of the old ways and a return to peace and love.

If you had the chance to remake this film/program, what would you do differently? 

Nothing

Would you recommend this film/program to your family, friends and colleagues? Why or why not? 

Definitely, this is how I see the world and I think all people should be aware of this reality. All my friends that have seen this movie think the same of it.

What would you like to say to the film's director, and/or the production studio? 

Good job and keep putting out more films that wake up the people.

("2012" only) Roland Emmerich is allegedly planning a television series "post 2012". What do you think of this idea? 

If it is anything like this movie and portray's positive things, then great!

Any other comments you'd like to add 

I am going to go see it again and maybe again.
