The wife and I used a surprise offer of baby sitting to become two of the last people on Earth to see Avatar. Granted, I am sure that we are not the very last, but whoever that is they should win a prize or something. Like 1% of the gross.
On a visual level, the film is brilliant. It is world building on a level never before seen. Yes, many of the alien animals have mirror on out planet, but all of them are well designed and look weird and unique.
The story, however, is rather pedestrian. It's you basic "man goes undercover, finds love on the other side, realizes that he might be working for the bad guys, has a change of heart" with a preachy eco-friendly subplot attached. The characters aren't all that well defined. The pacing is a bit off. It's still a good movie, but not perfect by any means.
