The new digital 3D technology is amazing--I really felt as if I had been immersed in an alien world. Which is good, because if I had to watch this (3 hour) movie in 2-D, I would have left half way through. The script was absolutely archaic, and the borderline racist depiction of the white soldier becoming the "saviour" of the native Na'vi race was like something from the cinema of the last century. Overall, I was glad to have seen Avatar 3D in the theater, but would NEVER watch this at home in 2D--and once was enough for me.
