I have seen many many movies in my 50 years and I have to say that this movie was transporting. The movie has an emotional and spiritual pull on the heart and is visually stunning. I was transfixed, absolutely spellbound by the beauty and attention to detail. I saw the movie in 3D imax which added another layer to an already rich palate. This movie is not to be missed. James Cameron has taken movie making to another level altogether as there is nothing that compares with Avatar so far. See it and see it soon. On another note, it barely attains a PG-13 status. I would definitely take kids 8 and up.
