Trite story saved by Cameron's technical mastery

Avatar deserves an Oscar for artistic direction. The evocation of Pandora as an exotic extraterrestrial environment is convincing, beautiful, & intellectually satisfying. The motion-capture technique is flawless too, but Peter Jackson already set that standard. The film's one true innovation is the extraordinary 3D effect. It'll transform moviemaking, like the shift from silent films to "talkies" & from black and white to color. Within a year or two every film will be 3-D, except for a handful using "flat mode" for artistic effect.
I plan to see Avatar again for its technical excellence ... but not because it moved me emotionally.The story-line of rapacious corporate thugs vs. noble savages has been done too many times before.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
