Having now seen Avatar I can safely say I can see why there is so much hype. This movie does contain the best CG and 3D ever incorporated into a feature film. The acting here was also moderately better than I had anticipated seeing and the blending of all the elements together was very well done and did leave a sense of wonder.
The problem, and I know others will see this soon, is that this movie will not stand up very long. The story is very un-original and the characters quickly forgettable. There will be sequels made that will not be as good as the first time you see this film.
It is amazing what they can do now visually, I can't wait to see it combined with an original story.
