I didn't expect to cry, just wanted to enjoy the visuals and I was blown away with this movie - and I didn't even watch it in 3-D. It didn't feel like nearly 3 hours - I wish it continued longer. The world on Pandora that Cameron has created is beyond spectacular - it moved me deeply and touched my heart in a really unexpected way. This was an experience, not a movie. I was taken on a spiritual quest where the interconnectedness of all life was portrayed so vividly and beautifully that I could not hold back tears of joy. If you go see ANY movie, see Avatar. I can't wait to see it again and I NEVER see movies twice. Enjoy!
