ENTS: I went to a movie, in a theater for the first time in about 5 years last night. We saw Avatar. I wont go into a critique of the movie at this point, but I wanted to point out to the ENTS that one of the lead characters in the movie played by Sigourney Weaver is a scientist...her character is not well-developed, but she is focused on botany. One of her main discoveries is root-to-root communication among plants (a main character in a 1/2 billion dollar movie a Rhizosphere biologist!?!?) There are a lot of interestingly imagined plants. The (floating, jellyfish like) seeds of a particular tree play a major role, and two of the central settings in the movie are trees. Its sci-fi with a lot of fighting and explosions and general loudness, and I am not particularly recommending the movie, but I thought you might be interested...
