Incredible effects. So happy I saw it in 3-D Imax- really unparralleled. The world, people and language Cameron creates are simply amazing. Too cool. I highly recommend the experience, and that you get there early. However, it's true the story is a little much. I feel like it is a little insulting to people who actually feel a deep connection with our earth- trivializes them a bit. Their home gets destroyed, most of them die, but the American gets the hot chick in the end, so it's happy. That said, I enjoyed the heck out of that movie and I would recommend it to anyone.
