Very few, if any, urbanites will get anything from the "mother earth" ethos. The majority would, if they looked at it as anything other than entertainment, empathies with Native Americans and or consequences of aggressive expansionism…. Kids will love it though.

Were you and I watching the same movie?
There may have been similarities with Dances with Wolves and Pocahontas but what movie out there that doesn't have something in common with another movie?
I found the movie quite enthralling and the message was quite clear. In fact after seeing the movie I concluded that a fair number of people who got the message would either be moved by it, be disturbed by it or dislike it for the very fact that it makes corporations and a number of humans to be greedy and hateful.
Young children may not understand the theme of the movie or the message but some can be rather discerning.
I'm sorry you found the movie to be dull. I for one found it fascinating.
