On the way to the theater with my husband and daughter I thought I was going to be wasting the next 3 hours of my life. . . was I wrong. Avatar was a masterpiece - well worth the close to $12.00 price per ticket to see it in 3D which is the best way to see it to get the full experience. It grabbed you from the beginning and by the time it was over you had no idea almost 3 hours had passed. Great job James Cameron - the graphics were breathtaking!!!
