'Avatar' does something I haven't seen since 1977 (Star Wars). It takes you away to a place not seen or even comprehended before. The film jumps to life and I could hear people mutter almost simultaneously "how cool is that." It reminds me of 'Dances With Wolves' meets 'Aliens' but multiply the spectacle to a scale even beyond 'Lord of the Rings.' The CGI is so real, you DO forget it's not real. 'Avatar' is too intense for children younger than 8. It does weave a love story amongst teeth-rattling action scenes and an epic end-of-movie battle scene that probably has George Lucas and Peter Jackson blushing. 'Avatar' is Oscar-worthy and worth your hard-earned cash. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
