Having seen the promo clips, I wasn't planning to go to this movie. But the critic and user reviews were so high I really thought this movie would be something special. It wasn't. I saw the 3D version that cost 50% more at the theater and was totally unimpressed by the 3D effects. They are no better than movies doing this 40 years ago. There is no connection with the characters at all and the story line is predictable with scenes that go on way too long. I'll be skipping the likely Avatar 2 sequel.
