Just saw it, and though I was a bit disappointed with the 3D, was expecting more eye-popping effects, the intricacies and beauty of Pandora were spellbinding. The movie is an allegory of the native vs colonizer saga. Similarities abound between the Pandora inhabitants and North American natives, again was looking for more originality than this overworked theme. During the movie certain scenes reminded me of scenes from other movies, a very disquieting feeling. One in particular reminded me of the Lion King!! But visually, the movie is a must see, and word of mouth and the hype will make this a money maker even if 400 million has been spent. Great flick to take kids over 10 to, younger will have a problem with the scarier moments. And sexy aliens??? They are in this movie. The female lead from Pandora can take me to her leader any time, even if she is sporting a tail. One thing about being on in age is that when you've seen as many movies as I've seen, one tends to be more jaded and picky. Someone said that all stories and movies are about 7 or 8 general plots. Avatar uses a very simple plot to show a visually stunning movie.
Where has the year gone?? Time keeps marching on, especially when you're having fun!!!
