I think all the criticism for the scripts originality is quite unfair. How many films made in the past 10 years are 100% original? Hell, there are theories that no film ever made is original, and can be traced back in some way to literature from centuries ago.

I loved the film. I’ve seen it twice. The second time around I had a new appreciation for the story. There is not a single moment of the film that goes to waste - one scene sets up the next or a later event perfectly. Being such an epic story, it’s hard to pack it all into one 3 hour film. It could have easily been split into two films or maybe three. Look at ‘Lord of the Rings’. Those three films could have been cut into one long epic, but it probably would have suffered the same critical backlash as Avatar is having right now. Avatar had to be stripped down to bare essentials in order to fit it into one movie.

The world that James Cameron created on ’Pandora’ is simply unparalleled. The attention to detail was staggering. I could have watched it all day, learning about this fascinating moon and its inhabitants. There was even a language of over 1000 words created especially for this movie, most of which were not used.

I don’t see this as a film - I see it as a cinematic experience that simply cannot be missed. You will not get the same effect on DVD. Seeing it in 3D at the cinema is the only true way to see this modern classic.
