The 3D of the movie is excellent, especially for someone like me that had never before seen a 3D movie. Graphics and animation are quite excellent. The art in scenery design reminds of Fantasia and is quite impressive.

That is all that is good about this movie. Story wise and ignoring all the Pocahontas/Terra similarities, things are sad. It can't be any more of a cliché. No originality and most importantly the characters are as if made in Hollywood hero molds that have been used thousands of times. The expressions, the language, the characters and the story are incredibly cliché and are really not worthy of being in a movie of such visual & technical achievement.

Avatar could be a Disney movie if it had more depth to it but it fails miserably. I would like to say that I was so overwhelmed by the 3D that it overshadowed the storyline but I can't do that, the story was childish at best. Not to mention that the nice 3D after 2 hours of relentless tacky clichés looses its luster

I am aware of the amazing movie technological advances that result from this movie but no matter how much innovation there is the end result is a bad movie with a bad story combined with bad acting and bad directing covered by nice 3D....IF your theater can support it. (btw when I saw the movie the 3D objects that were closer seemed to flicker but I assume that was a local theater issue)

There are in my opinion plenty of wrong scenes e.g. the huge futuristic spaceships need 6-10 minutes to cover a distance of 2-3 kilometers or where super armor gets pierced by arrows. I don't care if the arrows are much bigger than normal or if the strength of the blue people is immense. Also I don't think the tough chick could abandon battle and say "I didn't sign up for this" and have no consequences....

I cannot imagine any reason to see this (3 hour) movie in the non 3D version. I Would give a much lower rating if there was no 3D version.

The 3D of the movie is excellent and could even justify the ticket cost!!!

Did I mention Sigourney Weaver wakes from a cryo-something-sleep-a-ma-jig? Can anyone spot the similarities of the original script with other Cameron movies nugde-nudge say no more!

If anyone dares defend Cameron that this amazing story of his was in development for so many years and maybe others stole the unique original idea and made Pocahontas/Terra bla bla...please come to your senses!!

I will be happy if I never see a James Cameron movie again!
