Even if you are not a sci-fi fan, this film is magnificent and worth watching. The moment to moment experience is unlike anything I have ever seen before. I would like this type of 3-D presentation to become the norm. Avavtar has at least a little something for everyone. I took my six year old daughter to see it and, despite some intense action sequences, she came away absolutely ecstatic. Having formerly worked in the film industry, I tend to be extremely critical of Hollywood and most of what it produces. That being said this was quite possible one of the best motion pictures I have ever seen. I would rank it in my top twenty favorite films of all time.
