This is a must-see movie, very exciting, fast action, cliff-hanger suspense, and amazing photography. The artistry of the production was unsurpassed. I often look at my watch during movies, especially when they have slow parts, just to see how much longer I have to sit there. Not so with this one -- time flew. The overall plot is not original, the acting is not special, and I don't enjoy seeing marine-types portrayed as the bad guys. Yet despite these issues, I strongly recommend Avatar to anyone seeing prime adventure and entertainment. You won't be disappointed if you see this movie.
