James Cameron's latest film is also his greatest film, and this is coming from a major fan of his movies. In AVATAR the visuals are so dazzling that your eyes will not even believe what they are seeing. The 3-D is a wonderful enhancement, not a coming at you gimmick. It is essential to see it in 3-D, and IMAX if at all possible. The entire film is like a fabulous thrill ride, and at nearly three hours, it is quite exhausting, and I mean that in a good way. I can see lots of Oscars in its future.
