Yes, the special effects were out of this world but it really fell flat on storyline. Take away the effects and you're left with a weak story. It has the feel of a watching a video game come to life. It's way too long: James Cameron could have easily taken at least an hour off and still told the same story. Then again if you're into a sci fi remake of Dances with Wolves staring big blue indians this is the film for you! *Be weary of the 3D: many people are suffering nausea and headaches. It's unnecessary and better NOT watching in 3D.
