A Masterpiece

Ignore the politicians and pundits who attack the film for its honest portrayal of the human condition when placed in a position of need, and facing a seemingly weaker race with something they want.
James Cameron created an entire world and people, in a believable situation facing an arrogant and selfish super power. What happened was believable and moving. Only the self-righteous and cold of heart could be offended by such a film and story.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Starting out with what seems like a tribute to Lucas' "American Graffiti" the opening scene ends with the camera looking at a groundhog looking into the camera. Huh? What was that referencing? While the action sequences were extremely well done, I just didn't feel invested in the characters. I didn't really care about them. Had this movie come right on the heels of the last Indy film, I might've felt differently.There also seems to be a neverending thread of characters with father issues in Spielberg's films. I don't know what that means, or how it helps the story but it always surfaces.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
