I was dubious about this movie, but my partner was so excited about going that I went along with minimal expectations. Not only did the movie exceed them, it introduced me to a magical world that enveloped my heart and soul. I felt myself on an emotional roller-coaster, feeling the highs felt by the handicapped Marine as he experienced the freedom of movement and the low when the native people's world was breached. Bravo to James Cameron for a job well done!!
