I rarely describe cinematic events in such ways, but to wrap one's mind around the expansive worlds and philosophical undercurrents of this movie is a feat in and of itself! James Cameron has outdone himself in literally EVERY conceivable way, from the mastery of detailed 3-D digital realms to the life-like animation of the Avatars and creatures. In addition, he has touched upon the most critical aspect of our relationship to the natural world as human beings in the modern day, and how desperately we need to rethink our posture toward unrelenting economic development and natural resource exploitation. FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
