I succeeded in avoiding all possible spoilers about this movie, so I had
no idea what it was about (with the exception of "something about aliens,
so I suppose it's some sort of scifi").

  A bit surprisingly this is, in rather broad terms, the same type of story
as Pocahontas/Dances with Wolves/Last Samurai/Avatar. However, it's not even
nearly as cliche. The aliens were not so unanimously and unambiguously
one-dimensional (the good guys, one with nature, etc). The protagonist was
also rather non-one-dimensional.

  The movie actually succeeded in making me feel sorry for the kid (if that's
the proper term), even though the aliens don't exactly show human-recognizable
feelings. I consider a movie good if it succeeds in me feel some kind of
emotions.
