I was not very interested in seeing this film but my husband has been talking about it for over a year and how Cameron was "taking it to the next level". I went not realizing it was in 3D until at the theater & was not happy about having to sit through an almost 3-hour movie and wear stupid glasses for a no-plot CGI fest. BOY, WAS I WRONG!! There was a plot & the symmetry between live-action & CG was FLAWLESS! Best visual effects I ever saw-gives 3D new life. Cameron apparently invented the new 3D camera technology used. It has and will change movie-making (REAL MOVIE-MAKING) forever. You must see this film in 3D and if available, IMAX, as well. FIVE STARS!!!!
