With all the hype on this movie, it would be hard to live up to expectations. However, Avatar did not disappoint. I would recommend it highly. Was it the greatest movie I ever saw? No. Mostly because the story It's a story we've heard before and the characters were cliche. However, the visuals make up for this and more. We were transported into a world like we've never seen. It all looked to real. The 3-D was used to make the visuals pop, not for gimmeckry. Very smart. I will see it again.
