James Cameron has broken the mold again with Avatar. The special effects are revolutionary; you've never seen anything like this. They integrate seamlessly with the story. You quickly forget that most of what you're seeing isn't "real", whatever that is these days. The actors all do good work in this movie. The 3D goes beyond anything I've personally seen, and I've seen 3D going back to the 60's. And if the storyline does take us back to our historical past, maybe that's not a bad thing. Sometimes it's good to be reminded of what we're capable of in the name of greed. I highly recommend this movie.
