I went into this with some high expectations because it's a James Cameron film. I also had trepidations about the 3D aspect of it, but all my friends assured me that 3D was the only way to go. All my fears were put to rest during the opening sequence. As Avatar progressed, I became more and more engrossed in the storyline, which was accompanied by some of the most stunning visuals I have ever encountered in a film. As the end credits began, I joined the theater in an uproarious round of applause. Bravo Mr. Cameron!
