I have to say this was probably the best movie I have ever seen. I was so into the entire movie that the 3 hours went by like that. The 3-D just made it that much better. Even without it, the movie is still fanatastic. I didnt know the premise of the story before I saw the movie but a friend of mine recommended it and I was definately not dissappointed. I went into it not expecting much and came out totally satisfied. The story itself was impecible and in the end you are routing for the Avatars not the humans. Way to go James Cameron, it was worth the 5 years it took to make this. You won't regret going to see this flick.
