Stunning.

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2009)

Wow!
I can't give it a full 10 stars. There is just too much in-your-face moralizing and the story is just too predictable.
Subtlety just isn't Cameron's strong point, he uses big, broad, strokes to get his points across and shove them down the viewer's throat.
The references to Pocahontas, Little Big Horn and other iconic parts of American history are pretty hard to miss.
The closest thing to subtlety you'll find are the references to Aliens several times throughout the movie.
But other than that it is a stunning movie.
The 3D effects worked pretty well, even if there were a few visual glitches along the way.
Whether they are worth all the hype and the extra expense is hard to say. The CGI was stunning, but I think they would have been even if it had been shown in normal 2D.
I guess I'll have to see it again in another theatre, to make a comparison. But that's OK, I want to see it again anyway.
