Avatar v battle for Terra

[Dryr]

It seems there is no topic for this flick yet, so here it is.

Just going off of previews, the film seems to have an eerily similar plot to another recently released on DVD movie called the battle for Terra. Terra, however was geared more towards 10-ish year olds.

Terra involves a group of humans looking to take over an inhabited planet, even though it is inhabited. Then one soldier finds that those inhabitants are actually good people and goes through a reflectve struggle balancing his people and the aliens' worth.

The previews of avatar show the same story, with the obvious ending of peace, but I'm guessing the soldier in avatar will permanently become the alien after some sort of power surge whereas in Terra the was no chance of a cross- species romance.

The point being, I still plan on seeing avatar, but I feel like the experience will be somewhat deminished because I sat through the very much inferior version of the story that is the battle for Terra.
