I absolutely love this song! BUT, the first time I heard it...I actually thought it was Celine Dion singing it  ;D, but it turned out to be Leona Lewis (which I am thankful for). However, like some critics have mentioned, I thought "I See You" sounds very similar to "My Heart Will Go On". By no means am I trying to insult lovers of this song, for I am one too, but I just wanted to point out the similarity (I believe, its from the same composer)...

Awesome song 5 stars by me.
If it would be any faster it would lose some of its meaning since it is a love song (at least by my thinking).
Personally i don`t take the Na`vi as alien because i think i understand them.

When I look on the news and see what horrible things are happening around the world I can`t help but wonder what is the source of them and therefore my own race is becoming more and more alien to me as time passes by.

Does that make any sense?

The "processed" sound is a bit off kilter with the nature of the film, but it is a great song.

To me the song was just another pop song, not that great but not that bad either. Personally i couldn't figure the reasons it was made, it just doesn't match the movie like i expected.

The tune in the background of the song plays throughout the movie. Also the movie needed a theme and not all themes have lyrics but this one had.

I agree with the most people here, the song is realy nice...
But I also have to sya that it does not realy match to the movie, because if you just got the rest of the avater songs from Horner, you get a real distance getween the songs, because all the songs are inside of the movie, wich i do realy like^^, and this song isn't... and i think it wouln'd match because it is an Pop-song, with a better backround than usual Pop-music.
To Nawma 'eveng, yes it was writtn by Horner, too(and that is what all the critiks are saying, this is typical Horner, he is copying his own work...)
;)
I personaly like this song, but all the other Songs, excluded Quaritch, are realy awsome, my favorit is "Jake Enters His Avatar World"...
I hope part II is getting some songs from Hans Zimmer ;)

(Sorry for any mistakes, I'm not a nativ^^)

cry each time watching the song video  :'(

I just liked the fact that there was a consistent tune throughout the whole soundtrack. I think it really synced up the music with the mood of the movie.

I'm going to try and chart the bit I'm talking about; (the height is the tone, it may not make sense, but bear with me.)

I really like it. It makes me.. I don't know how to call it. I don't cry, I don't get sad. It just makes me.. can't explain it. But I like it, for as long as the music plays (music plays almost whole day :P)

Same for me. You said it well.

Its not just the single soundtrack, almost all of the music from Avatar has that consistency.

I have to say (and I realize I'm in the VAST minority with this): I really don't like this song. At all. I don't find it inspiring, or anything of that sort.

I feel like the lyrics are rather... uninspired. I HATE when people use lyrics literally, or use the same metaphor over and over again, and this song has that in spades. The movie themes I tend to enjoy are instrumental, or a song that was actually IN the movie (Beauty and the Beast is the example that immediately comes to mind, but that's certainly not my favorite. I actually like the in-movie version better). When you're constrained by what the events are in the movie, the lyrics, almost without fail, strike me as... I don't know... dumbed down almost.

A movie theme that I loved that was very metaphorical: May it Be, or Into the West, from LotR. either song, while iconic, is able to transcend the movie, and can be its own entity. Both songs evoke the movie without slamming you over the head with something we've heard a million times over. Into the West, in particular, is about something that is talked about really only one time in the whole of the movie. Yes, the one point was incredibly poignant and easily remembered, but it was also far-reaching enough to be interpreted other ways, to mean other things to other people. May it Be is similar in that vein, and also contains some strains of a language spoken in the movie (something "I See You" is sorely lacking)

"I See You," for me (again, this is all my opinion, I'm well aware that I'm clearly the odd one out) simply does not have that transcendent quality.

That said, I'm also not a huge fan of Leona Lewis. Yes, she's a talented person, but I just don't like her songs. And I felt absolutely NO soul from her singing in this song, no sincerity.

My first thought when I heard the song originally was: "Wow... this is... unoriginal." and my second thought was "Why wasn't the end theme in Na'vi?" Now, listening to it again, so that I can discuss it while remembering why I don't like it, I am struck by the over-processing of the song. It turned it into something simple and evocative into something that is just another pop song. And for the most part, I don't like pop music.

If there is a redeeming quality to the song, it's the reprise of the melody that is played throughout the entire film.

I do love the rest of the soundtrack. Just... this song. I really don't care for it. Sorry.

If you like the song, that's fine. I'm certainly not going to begrudge people for music they enjoy. I know I enjoy songs that other people despise. This is just not the song that does it for me. er... Sorry for raining on the parade, if I have, it's not my intention, really. Just voicing a different opinion (Someone has to play "devil's advocate," right?)
