Ps: did you see that there where as much as 4 different styles of bows? Some had recureves with string bridges if I had seen that right!
Does anyone know who made the bows???

i'm sure the bows were made of rubber, just like the ones on LOTR.

It finally got here to our little movie theater, we went and saw it last weekend. I agree, it was a good movie. The plot was very predictable, but the visual effects were probably the best I've ever seen in a movie. Plus, the whole package of the planet and its life was very imaginative and interesting. I didn't really see it as anti-human, just realistic  anti-corporate greed. The same kind of things that were happening to the big blue dudes in the movie are happening right now on Earth to hillbillies in West Virginia, Lakota in South Dakota, Indians in the Amazon, native people in Africa, and other people all over the world, and likely will be as long as there is a buck to be made by the rich guy at the expense of the poor guy. I bet it would be a trip in 3D.

Steve....it was a TRIP in 3-D...We had it in IMAX 3-D....and when they were Jumping  fromTree to Tree....over Cliffs...and Flying....it made you get the Gut Rush like a Roller Coaster does...I am definitely going to see it again...and I have never gone back to see a Movie before......You are correct...it was not ...ANTI-HUMAN....It just showed how damned Greedy the Human Race can be...and how little Corporations respect Nature or Indigenous Life when in Pursuit of the Ever-Lovin Greenback

The way Nyetiri's longbow bent in several shots I wouldn't be surprised...

Checked out couple 'making of' clips on youtube and elsewhere:

Seems they had simple sticks with strings on 'em as props, that later got replace by what we get to see in the movie, just the same way the horses and almost everything else got replaced.
Actually the actors had archery lessons and practiced shooting with that certain anchor, though.

     Yep went to see it in three D tonight, with my Girlfriend who doesn't like Sci Fi's, but she said she enjoyed this one.  She thought there would be more stuff coming out of the screen in three D, the way they had built up the special effects in the advertising.  Like the Michael Jackson movie at Disney World.  But I did notice they used a two fletch...... ;)  Thems was sum kinda big arras!  Looked like the S.A. Indian arrows.  yeah, it was pretty quiet in there, except when the Girl who saved him, smacked him with her bow, and snarled at him, I leaned over to my Girlfirend and said " I think I dated her once " ;D  Other than that we didn't talk either.  We got there late, just as the part where he  is trying out the alien body.  But yeah great movie.
