Having just seen Avatar in IMAX 3-D, I can easily say that this is the most visually-stunning film ever created. It's worth traveling and spending a bit more to see it in the IMAX format if that's possible. Although the acting by the key characters is superb, I felt that the roles played by the recognizable actors were pretty stereotyped and their behavior and dialog very predictable. The story itself could have been more complex and thought-provoking. Over-all the film could use some editing, especially the combat and destruction scenes. All criticism aside, it's a true achievement in cinema, but it is not a film that I would personally want to see more than once or to see again on DVD.
