Forget the totally formulaic plot and the slightly preachy metaphors, this film is a visual feast. Not since the original release of Star Wars has a movie made me say "Wow" like this. You almost step into the world of Pandora. I felt vertigo at points. The imagery seemed alive, and not in the hokey way of earlier 3Ds that relied on images shooting forward to shock the audience. This was more subtle, as sparks and ash seemed to float through the cinema, as the landscapes had depth and the floating mountains, huge and monolithic, seemed suspended above us. There were points at which the 3D/CGI seemed just a hint awkward, but this is so far above and beyond anything produced to date. A don't miss in IMAX 3D for the film tech buff.
