James Cameron once again pushes the envelope to create another iconic movie. From the moment the lights went dim and I put my 3D glasses on I transported to another world. Pandora is lush, the flora and fauna are realized in amazing color and form. For the most part the characters are well developed and believable.
Only one aspect of the film kept me from giving it 5 stars. The plot is simple and nothing new and you've seen it dozens of times before; white guy encounters native population under siege, then in the process becomes their leader and saves them. It would have been nice to see Cameron try a different take on this over used plot device, but he went the safe route instead.
