Considering that we all watch the movie called LIFE in 3d for about 14-18 hours per day, i'd say there's a good chance 3 hours wont cause a headache, unless LIFE itself IS headache.

again, the racism is not about the black actors or their voice actors,
the racism in this movie stems from the fact that it is ACTUALLY the story of Pocahontas but edited for space smurfs.
Pocahontas itself is a racist book/story/movie so the racism carried over.
Its White America's tool through propaganda media to continue their campaign of white christian imperialistic hedgemony.
Where the white messiah brings "civility" and education and english and medicine blah blah to the poor savages, in exchange for their land.

Just because its what hollywood does, doesnt mean we should forget that it IS infact culturally insensitive and racist. Its just that they do so much of it that we tend to let it slide, but racism should not accepted and forgotten.
You can do a movie, an action adventure epic too, without being racist but they went the easy root and made pocahontas 2:dances with space smurfs

Well first off at no point in the movie did the human technology, medicine, education or ANYTHING work, in fact the humans had NOTHING to offer them, so how is this pocahontas? Did any lead char die? please put into context what you mean and for those who haven't read or seen any variant of pocahontas the similarities between that make this a direct rip off.

First off.

Second
The white man BROUGHT the education and "civility" as even one of the characters in the movie actually SAID (Giovanni Ribisi)

Third
What Jake SUlly did by riding the ultra turkey dinosaur and leading the natives into victorious battle, is known as The White MEssiah role in Hollywood, where a white man enters a culture, masters it in quick short time, then becomes their hero/saviour/ Messiah against a great and powerful enemy. Its a theme that has been around for a LONG time in White Christian Hedgemony.

Its not just a hollywood thing but an extension of their expansionist method of conquering societies they have come across.

It may be alot for me to say to people without them having the same scope of history that i have had the pleasure of being exposed to but believe me, there is nothing accidental or benign in this method of story telling.
People have come to accept it as the norm and mostly harmless, because they been so over exposed to it and in alot of ways have bought into what America is selling.

Good show, save isn't Jake abandoning his human form and becoming more or less alien (read indian) a defining difference? the 'white messiah' becomes 'black/indian/whatever' which is TOTALLY anti-white conquers all themed? Because in essense its says that the 'white man' realizes his race is not what he was destined or supposed to be and is MORE than willing to give it up to fight alongside that which the 'white man' wants to conquer. Not just keep his form and be together with the alien but rather he in the end even says 'the aliens return to their dead world'. Whilst everything yall have said to now points to how closely the story relates to pocahontas, isn't this particular point a rather LARGE SYMBOLIC difference? it is imho.

no no. him turning navi at hat stage and siding with them is only after he uses hs white messiah powers to learn their clture and language and skills in less than two months. then goes super saiyajin white messiah mode and bonds with ultra dino turkey ,the natives greatest act of skill and courage. an act only ever accomplished by the five greatest navi leaders on pandora over thousands of years. he then flies in like the great white annointed one and receives his just worship. that particular messiah miracle is repeated often in propaganda films, like pocahontas, dances with wolves, the last samurai,The Forbidden Kingdom and many others like it.

its of course intentional,the attempt to make it different
but he uses white messiah magic to get to the point where they make him navi.
