I was hooked from the moment the 2001: Space Odyssey throwback images of the space craft visuals started to when Jake opened his eyes as a member of the "People" at the end. The special efects were beyond exceptional - the floating mountains, the Home Tree, the Tree of Souls, the flying effects, the battle scenes, all fabulous. James Cameron's creativity with a romantic storyline comes through in this movie as it did in Titanic.
