Simply awesome.

You gotta hand it to James Cameron. The man has a knack for spinning a fantastically wonderful tale with some of the most cutting edge special effects ever put on film. Most of the time, I couldn't tell what was real and what was not. THAT is the beauty of a special effect. It serves the story and is believable unlike the crap in Transformers 2. But the most important aspect of all this, from the acting and dialog is the story. The story, simply put, resonates so closely with our real-world and it's historical context; most notably when mankind exploited and destroyed the environment for profit at the cost of human lives. It's really refreshing and interesting to see a film that challenges and criticizes our capitalistic, militaristic, and imperialistic attitude and ambitions, at a time when our collective conscience is slowly but surely blinding us from the truth. This is a wonderful film with a wonderful message and I for one am glad I saw it because it reminds me of just how beautiful and fragile our world is and in order to ensure that beauty lasts for generations, we all must do our part to make it happen.
This films got it all. Intrigue and mystery, suspense, humor, action, romance and just pure fun. Although I would've liked more background info on the planet and it's inhabitants but sometimes it's good to be teased or in this case, kept in the dark about it's eccentricities. Hopefully we'll see a follow-up to this grand and epic tale that will flesh out more of Pandora and judging by the film's phenomenal box-office performance, it's highly likely it will come into fruition. But until then, I will come back to see it again for the second time. A third and fourth viewing is not out of the question. One of the best Sci-Fi films I've ever seen and ranks up there with the best movies of the decade.
