When I heard how much was spent on the CGI for this movie, I was immediately skeptical of any hope of a plotline. However, I went out on a limb and saw it, and what a limb! :D Avatar is one of the best movies I have ever seen, from plotline to graphics. I was enthralled immediately, and the near three hours just flew by! The only thing that sucked was leaving the theatre and realizing how boring my life is in comparison. Can't wait to see the sequels!
