All these memorable aspects of great movies cleverly inserted into a well used formula plot pumped up with really advanced computer animation. Wow! I am not impressed! Anybody who raves about Avatar really hasn't seen that many great films in their lifetime. Which by the average age of most of the audience being 12, is not surprising.
