Avatar is like a Krispy Creme donut. For many of us, we know its bad for us, full of junk and will never win any culinary awards, but we love it and it makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Then there's those that don't like donuts or are health freaks and cannot understand why you'd eat that crap.
For those film goers like me that love action/adventure, bit of sci-fi, bit of fantasy, maybe a bit of will he/won't he get the girl, minimal profanity, easy to watch story then Avatar is a joy to watch and watch it you should, you'll probably enjoy it....a lot. If you see it in 3D you'll probably enjoy it a bit more. If you don't like any of the above or you are a film critic then you probably won't like this movie and will not understand what all the fuss is about.
Movies, art, music. Whatever the medium, you won't like it all and everything will affect everyone differently.
Avatar....
(a) for some will be a couple of hours of escapism to Pandora. They'll be captivated by the visual experience (and more so in 3D) and flowing story. Many will leave the movie theatre with lasting memories.
(b) Others just will not get this "blue people" thing, or will feel James Cameron is just trying to tell you not to cut down trees or kick out the indians, or will spend 3 hrs picking faults, or will be disappointed that they didn't have to do the warden's tax returns before they escaped from the cell.
I was an (a) and there seems to be more of us than (b)'s.
