The best experience I've ever had in a theater, bar none

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2010)

The only reason I gave this movie a 10 is that IMDb hasn't implemented 15's as a score yet. It is simply incredible.
There are a few naysayers who have complained about the plot of the movie. My only explanation is that they are just too stupid to appreciate what they just saw. The plot has everything you could ask for, and is very different from anything you've ever seen in a major motion picture. This movie could play without the soundtrack and the story would still be compelling.
However, the home run hit by this movie is unquestionably the special effects. Again, maybe some kids that have grown up in the 'great special effects generation' aren't able to to really watch what is going on and truly appreciate the achievement. In the car driving home, I commented that I was surprised I was actually getting us home ... the entire time images from the movie were still racing thru my head.
This movie is just truly a feast in every way. From the opening shot to the last the visuals are the most incredible I've ever seen in any media. To hearken back to the famous "Superman" advertising ... You WILL believe a 10 foot alien man can fly on a wyvern-like alien beast!"
It all looks real, from the stunning alien world to the action scenes to the acting on the faces of the aliens.
Don't try to analyze this movie. Just go to see it, sit back, relax (when you can), and be amazed at this stunning achievement!
I highly recommend seeing this movie in IMAX 3D. Once it is out of the theaters, it may be a long time before you will see anything like this again, and you will NEVER again see this movie like the experience you will have in the theater. Many movies are as good (or better) at home on Blu-ray. That will not be the case with this film.
