Expensive

For $18 I expected more. The theater started it 15 minutes late. They showed it in a small theater with poor sound. It appeared dark on the screen, no brilliance of color. The musical itself was good, but it is Sondheim which means clever, complex lyrics, but nothig memorable like a Rodgers and Hammerstein. Neil Patrick Harris was ok, but watch Raul Esparza sing Being Alive on Youtube and you will see the difference a real singer can make. Several of the supporting cast were wonderful, but I am not sure what Jon Cryer and Steven Colbert were doing in this except attracting some audience. If you like musicals, you will like this but not love it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Game Changer

Once again James Cameron is on the cutting edge of movie technology. He was there with Titanic and he is there now with Avatar. This movie is a game changer. It will be the standard for years to come for judging a movie's effects.
While the storyline has been done before (think Dances with Wolves), the special effects, virtual characters, and sheer beauty of Pandora make you forget that. The love story is told with tenderness and passion, a nice counterpoint to the spectacular scenes of destruction. (I highly recommend IMAX 3-D for the maximum experience).
Yes, I recommend this movie.
