I've read a lot of other reviews and heard word-of-mouth that although the visual effects were ground-breaking, the story lacked somewhat. I did not find that true at all. I thought the story was very well-written. Do I even have to say anything about the visuals? I saw it in IMAX 3D and it was unlike anything I have ever seen before. I was truly getting dizzy and having vertigo on some scenes! James Cameron never fails to deliver. This is a movie experience that any so called movie lover needs to have.
