i wasn't totally stoked about seeing another near 3-hour movie, but my kids and parents wanted to go. so we took the snow day off to go see AVATAR in 3D...well, UNEXPECTEDLY AWESOME! i thought the story-line and plot were great (even if it is a recycled concept) and the 3D was phenomenal. i cried several times (as did my father!) my young kids wouldn't even get up for a bathroom break--we all loved it!
