Visually speaking, this is the greatest movie I have ever seen. The story was good enough to stand on its own, but I still don't know why anyone would see it in other than 3D. Night time in the jungles of Pandora was totally ethereal. Cameron and others who had artistic input for the film have the kind of imagination and vision that I can't even fathom. I'm happy I got to go along for the ride.
I was a little reluctant to go see this. I have seen "A Christmas Carol" done soooo many times. This is the third by Disney alone. It was, however, one of the best special effects movies I have seen in ages. It was beyond entertaining - it was FUN! I would not recommend it for very young viewers. Some of the ghost scenes were intense.
