Just saw Avatar & while I thought it was spectacular visually the 3D didn't work for me completely - several times I saw multiple images instead of one with the objects at the side of the screen. the story was horrible seemed like a complete mashup of Dances with Wolves, Star wars, Eragon, Aliens with tons of bad cliches throughout - I started to laugh when the Naavi attacked the corporation machinery - for some reason all I saw was a repeat of the ewoks in Return of the Jedi - not worth the $29 I spent to see it on the IMAX & definitely not worth the hype - I wish next time they would spend some $$ on a plot to go with the effects
This was by far the best movie I have seen in 2008 - it should win at the oscars for movie, picture & actor - Eastwood is at his best - definitely a movie that will make you laugh, cry & think a lot about whats happening in the world today
