We saw it in 3D ... got to say it was my first 3D experience and the glasses hurt my eyes. I had to keep the glasses approx 2 inches away for it to feel OK to me. Also, way too loud, but I do have very good hearing and rarely get exposed to loud noises.
Personally, I enjoyed the film.
As to hidden agendas, I did not see any or even considered looking for them. I found it entertaining, with a simple story line. There are parallel stories going on that are reflective of our current societies structure - pretty upfront really about govt/political/military agendas being fueled by greed, seeking short term gains through exploitation and ignoring the broader view of how that affects long term resources.
I like the tribe (can't remember the name) - they work as a collective consciousness, (that is how I see the future 4th dimension structure.) They care for the land, their resources, their people, the animals. They see that all in their society is connected and sacred. I liked their tails. I want one of those :-)
Those that look for hidden agendas, I suggest you look at what fears are being triggered in you. Fear of control?
Do remember you are a Creator Being and nothing can control you apart from your own fear of control. It's time to rewrite that code. You can be aware of this story without being part of it. Whatever we focus on we attract to us. It is an all inclusion Universe. If we push against things, we are in essence saying 'Yes' to it just by our attention.
To be a Creator is to be a visionary, not a historian.
It is out of balance for the light to judge the dark. It is still judgement. Recognise that as a consciousness we created it all. And as a consciousness we can create something new.
You can justify your code as much as you like. But code is code is code is code.
Resonance with a hurricane is code.
Oh, did I tell you? Code is code :-) Top secret. Don't tell anyone. Not many know.
This is a spiritual forum and I detect some sarcasm, more fitting of a debate forum. I am surprised.
I am more surprised by those that call themselves 'spiritual' who spend so much time on the debate forums in name calling contests. I love the irony!!
"Oh, in THIS house I am spiritual, but elsewhere I allow myself to be non spiritual ... " does it go something like that?
My partner tells me of a story of a regular church goer, who would be full of reverence with his priest and while in his 'Father's House' ... he would help clean the church, be there early every Sunday and the last to leave ... then he would go straight to the pub, get drunk and go beat up on his wife.
We are all of spirit .... or does 'spiritual' to you mean we have to obey certain rules/codes? If so, what are they? I would like to know.
I was being honest more than sarcastic.
Now I'm being sarcastic :-)

Well I am surprised again, Invincible. I should not need to explain my behavior on the debate forums, because I know you know how the mirror works, because I have seen your posts about the topic. When I am over there, a few of us attempt to have stimulating conversations about very interesting debate topics pertaining to God and Jesus. We are met with ridiculous REACTIONS, "name-calling" and avoidance of the subject matter totally. Soooooo......we hold a mirror up to them, to show the absurdity of their behavior. Rather than reacting, I respond in a very centered, conscious way, reflecting back.

Interesting comparison. So you are comparing the mirror work we are doing with getting drunk and beating up the wife? Wow.
"We are all of spirit .... or does 'spiritual' to you mean we have to obey certain rules/codes? If so, what are they? I would like to know."
Ok then. So if you do not have to obey certain rules, does that pertain to me too, while posting in the debate forum?
"I was being honest more than sarcastic.

Re-read your post to IC. My intuition tells me there was anger and sarcasm in your words, rather than honesty. I'll post it here to refresh your memory.

You are right, You don't need to explain or justify to me. Then why did you do so?
Be aware that the mirror works both ways. You can not look directly into the face of another without seeing your own.
Why do you think you are met with these "ridiculous reactions"?
It's because you are judging them for being ridiculous. You think you're right. You think your opinion is more valuable than theirs. You don't consider that they have a right to their beliefs or that someone who doesn't fit your code could possibly be of service. They invalidate you and then you invalidate them.
You are doing to them exactly what you accuse them of doing to you.
(I use the word 'You' very loosely, it is not directed at you ... just at anyone interested in mirror work)
This is mirror work: Whatever judgement you hold of another is truly a self judgement. It's not always obvious because of the shadows at play. We perceive in others what we haven't accepted/integrated into ourselves. The shadow is denied and directed at those outside of us.
To become a whole/integrated human being is to see that we are all of it. "I am that which I see - all of it." Whatever you think, see, perceive ... it's a reflection, that's all. We change the reflections by changing ourselves.
If you don't like what's in the mirror, do you smash the mirror or try and change what is reflected in the mirror?
FYI, I don't purposely go to the debate forums, (but as a moderator on CZ) I get lots of notifications in my inbox directing me to posts on many forums on CZ - and many of these notifications are for requests for posts to be removed because of arguing, name calling, rule breaking etc ... so I do notice who the players are in this mirror game ...... (I am not taking sides, just noticing) however, I believe everything goes in debate forums, so I leave things alone. Each to their own!
Re-read your post to IC. My intuition tells me there was anger and sarcasm in your words, rather than honesty.
That is your judgement and therefore your mirror. When you point one finger, notice how many are pointed back at you.
There is a code that is very useful to change .. it goes something like: "If you agree with me and approve of me, I like you and we are at peace. If you disagree with me or dissaprove of me, I don't like you and we are at war". That code is what continues to creates war in our world, so if you prefer a more peaceful universe, that code is worth rewriting.
I've come to learn that what anyone thinks about me is not my business - but what I think about them is my business. And my business is to find that place of neutrality, understanding and unconditional acceptance of another being - because when I don't, I feel like crap and I suffer. I am not there yet, but it is a strong intention to clear these codes that don't serve me.
I hope you receive this message in the light it was intended ... and consider that if you perceive this as judgement on you (which I sincerely did not intend) it only means I have triggered codes in you that would be worth looking at.

Regarding judgment, we are judging all day long. From the moment we choose what clothing to wear, which task or errand to perform first, which direction to drive one's car, etc. etc. The word "judgment" seems to be used by the New Age movement the same way "sin" is used by christianity.
Judgment = choice
judg⋅ment
–noun
1. an act or instance of judging.
2. the ability to judge, make a decision, or form an opinion objectively, authoritatively, and wisely, esp. in matters affecting action; good sense; discretion: a man of sound judgment.
3. the demonstration or exercise of such ability or capacity: The major was decorated for the judgment he showed under fire.
4. the forming of an opinion, estimate, notion, or conclusion, as from circumstances presented to the mind: Our judgment as to the cause of his failure must rest on the evidence.
5. the opinion formed: He regretted his hasty judgment.
6. Law.
a. a judicial decision given by a judge or court.
b. the obligation, esp. a debt, arising from a judicial decision.
c. the certificate embodying such a decision and issued against the obligor, esp. a debtor.
7. a misfortune regarded as inflicted by divine sentence, as for sin.
8. (usually initial capital letter) Also called Last Judgment, Final Judgment. the final trial of all people, both the living and dead, at the end of the world.

FYI, my posts on the debate forum were not in judgment. In fact, infinite potential has room for ALL belief systems, ALL. My purpose for posting (once again) was to share and explore, and when that was not received well, to mirror.
"When you point one finger, notice how many are pointed back at you." Common new-age cliche.
Have I pushed a few buttons? ;-)

Have I pushed a few buttons? ;-)
No. Were you trying to?
If so, why?
You are making me laugh though.
