Gorgeous. I really forgot that the sets were soundstage green screens -- and instead got caught up staring at the aliens' sparkling freckles and ever-so-subtle boob jiggle.
The animators really created poetry in motion.
Epic movies for me get bogged down in too-long ceremonies and boring romantic subplots. This one really breezed along through them. Tight editing. Never a dull moment.
A few lines were eye-roller allegories: George Bush is Bad! Corporations are Evil! -- mostly because it was so excessive. The emotion and authenticity of the Navi -- with their big eyes and expressive lips -- I got to say -- was perhaps even more gut wrenching than even a human actor.
