Fortunately I bought my IMAX 3D ticket online since it was all sold out for the day at 9:15 a.m. Saturday!! Avatar was a real joy to watch. It was filled with beautiful images. It was easy to forget that there was animation mixed into it. Much to my surprise I found the battle scene at the end interesting. It was cleverly thought out and certainly not as one-sided as I had expected. I have been recommending this film to friends.
