Worth Seeing

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2010)

The most impressive CGI to date with an outstanding alien world and a decent story. If there is a critique of this movie, it is that the story is not what I would call an original story, the themes of the story have been told previously: 1) evil corporation destroys environment for profits 2)advanced race taking advantage of indigenous species, 3) hero goes native. Is this bad? That would be a personal opinion. It's very watchable, just not that original as far as the story goes. My wife called it the Sci-Fi version of Dances with Wolves. She has enjoyed previous Cameron movies, but did not like this one. I found the world of Pandora to be a most impressive creation. Overall I liked it. I'll have to see it a second time before I decide if it's worth purchasing. :)
Saw it a second time at the local IMAX. If you've not been to the IMAX lately or not seen a 3D film before, or have not cared for previous 3D films, and don't mind spending $15 per ticket, this is the movie that you should see in 3D at the IMAX. It's a pretty incredible experience. I will be buying this movie when it's out on DVD. I predict this movie will receive at least one Oscar for technical innovation. IMO, it is also a contender for Cinematography, Best Director, and Best Picture.
