Game?

They movie has a very sifi feel to it including having a paraplegic have the ability to embody a huge blue Aline creature that can walk and run, something he can only dream of doing. Not only this but Jake embodies a hero when he take the form of this other being like many heroes do. His original job is to get information about where the natives are keeping this valuable mineral that the Americans have come to get from the planet. Along with this he is charges with a task to become one of the natives and find out about their culture and record it for the future. The author of this says that controlling this navine is like a game. You embody another person and do activities with it that you can't do in real life but at the same time the experiences are not truly yours. Along with this the graphics seem to draw you into the movie so you feel like you are in a new world like when you play a game. You get engulfed with it until you loose track of all around you. That's an effect this movie gives.
