What an incredible experience. This is the kind of paradigm shift we saw with the first Star Wars movies. Avatar really raises the bar for the special effects folks. And like The Star Wars stories, this one is pretty predictable, but well acted and very beautiful in it's presentation. The only real cheese was the "unobtainium," but I can forgive that. I was persuaded and entranced. I've seen it twice now and probably will again. 5 Stars! Go see it!
