Once every decade or so, a movie comes along that is so groundbreaking, so visually stunning, that it becomes the standard against which other movies of the genre are held up against and judged. In 1977, this movie was "Star Wars", in 1991 it was "Terminator 2", in 1999 it was "The Matrix", and in 2001 "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy". "Avatar" is the 2009 submission to this list of venerable films. The special effects in this film are truly phenomenal. This film must be experienced in 3D on the big screen and preferably in IMAX. Even if you are not a science fiction fan, I highly recommend you see this movie. Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed!
