Wonderful movie, makes you realize what a special place we live in. My children (11, 8, 5) all enjoyed it equally as well, and in fact want to see it again. The film is only around 90 minutes, and is easy to sit through. The panoramic views are just spectacular. Enjoy it with the family.
I have seen this movie now for the third time, but the first time in the IMAX 3D. The movie may be a little weak in the plot, but it otherwise immerses you in Cameron's reality. The cinematic experience is nothing short of spectacular, and the CGI blends in so perfectly with actually footage, that Pandora becomes a reality in your mind. Even if you don't like or particularly enjoy Sci-Fi Fantasy, you owe it to yourself to see this movie. This film is clearly a milestone in cinematic experience, and one that sets the new benchmark for the genre. It was meant to be viewed in the IMAX 3D, and anything is just not worth it.
This is one of those movies that you usually end up seeing because of a date/spouse/female friend (insert any of the above), and end up actually having a good time. The jokes and embarassing scenes made for good humor, and the acting from Glenn Close was great, Alec Baldwin's performance was so so in the beginning and better in the end. Steve Martin plays a small role, but overall it works. I would recommend seeing the movie, but not sure it is worth the full price.
Going in to this movie, I was expecting it to be very mediocre. Most second sequels are, and how much more could they get out of this franchise. Well, my kids were laughing (ages 11, 7, 5) and so was I. Lots of suspense, one liners for the adults, and minimal violence for the kids. See it with the family and enjoy!
