If you want to see this film at all, you have to see it at the movie theater. The visuals are stunning. The story is by no means original, and there are more than a few cliches (it is a James Cameron movie, after all), but if you let yourself "go with the flow", you'll be rewarded. It's not going to win a Best Picture Oscar, but it's definitely raising the bar. The one major flaw for me was the music -- it just did not suit the visuals. When I go to see it again, I may bring ear plugs :-)
