I went to this movie only because it seemed like it was going to become part of the culture. However, I was totally blown away with how captivating and tight the script was, with the technical execution that sets a new standard, and with the scenery on planet Pandora that was stunning. The 2 hours and 40 minutes flew by. It is one of the very few movies I would see a second time. I am sure there were an amazing number of details that I missed the first time through.
