Storyline - I agree with others in that the story wasn't original, as it draws themes from Pocahontas, Dances with Wolves, and Last of the Mohicans. However, what story is every original? Bottomline is that Cameron told the story of Native Americans in a futuristic tribe called the Na'Vi in 2154. I thought it was solid. Acting- Zoe Saldana, Sigourney, and Sam Worthington were all solid. Some of the character development and lines could have been more elaborated (which is why I'm interested in seeing a director's cut in the blue ray/dvd when it comes out). However, all in all well done. Visuals - The best damn movie I've ever seen, and I watched it in regular 35 mm film format! My goodness, you feel as if you're actually within Pandora. I gotta see this on the IMAX. Overall - A fantastic experience from one of the best directors in our modern era. The movie flowed so well that it didn't feel as if you were there for 160 minutes. That's a sign of a very solid movie.

I lost all respect for Cameron as a director....I am an artist so I loved the special effects but it was not enough for me to forget that our military is portrayed as dumb, killers , even the quote " Shock and Awe" is used , If you have a patriotic bone in your body, you will be appalled by the climax of this film ..... NOW WE ARE KILLING MARINES ???...... I say , GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS !!!..... If you love senseless cinema, than make it a point to invest $12 or $14 as soon as possible, to see a cliche in every way .....

It's 3:30 in the morning, I just returned from viewing this spectular movie. The 3-D experience is the best I have ever encountered. It is packed with adventure, a love story, and most important the need to preserve one's environment. It illusrates how man can destroy the one thing that substains them and that is the earth. The graphics and colors were so vivid. This truly amazing movie. One that everyone in the family should see, it is long but very enjoyable.

I am completely upset with the number of Oh No comments that have dragged down the ratings of this movie. Regardless of your feelings about tree hugger movies. This is a "Must Go" and see movie. Yes, I often get upset myself at movies that portray man as entirely thoughtless "who cares about the environment"; "rape and pillage it and get our share". I give the movie "Fern Gully" as an example. But this is an entirely engaging film that will keep you spellbound from start to finish. Forget about Hollywood trying to preach to you about the evils of mankind. Let yourself be immersed in the world of Pandora and believe that it truly is REAL for 2.5 hrs. You won't regret it.
