Best Family Movie in Years

This is the best family movie in years, probably since Free Willy. Adults and teens will enjoy it equally. While I'm sure Oscar will not come knocking, the acting was solid. The story was inspirational. Warning for very young children, it's a tearjerker. It's faith based but doesn't beat you over the head with it. It's part of Bethany's story so it is central to the movie. My only complaint is that with the beautiful scenery and surfing sequences, it should have been filmed in IMAX.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Stunningly beautiful

Visually, this was a stunningly beautiful movie. The IMAX experience was almost too good. My daughter was feeling ill after but she gets seasick easily. 3D has come so far that I'm convincced it will be the new standard in film making. I gave the movie four stars only because the base story was beautiful and elegant but not original. I kept thinking this is too close to Dances with Wolves ala Sci Fi. The Na'vi language and dress too closely resembled indiginous Native American and African culture. It's a masterpeice of film making though and will be remembered as a cinematic breakthrough.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
