There was no real way Cameron would not deliver for this 10 years gestating project, but now we can finally say it: it was worth the wait. And then some.

Those who are slacking on the fairly unoriginal story are missing the point:
1) a good story doesn't get old and this one's good
2) when it's told that way, he could adapt a nursery rhyme I'd be in.

It's just awe inspiring.
Epic. Never seen before.
All those qualifiers take suddently a new meaning...
I would think that my mouth was gaping through at least half of the movie. I couldn't tell though, I was just absorbed...

As a matter of fact, 3D just disappears within the 1st few minutes. It delivers that much more punch and it's so well designed you just forget about it and get drowned in the experience. The focus guides your eyes so you always know where to look at, you're never lost... And also when you think about it, you just don't see the limit between CGI and real shots... It all forms a whole. Absolutely amazing.
But all at the service of the story...

And in a typical Cameron way, it's not all about action, you have some truly beautiful and poetic moments as well... But when the shit comes down, it does come down... :)
Under all the slick and cold technology, there's a heart beating. The Na'vis don't feel like they're just CGI artefacts. They live. You can see the actors working... Yet they move in a cat-like way that clearly isn't human.
Speakign about which, the fauna on Pandora is amazing as well. So many details, so many things to catch. Even if the Na'Vis could be suspiciously humanoid, they do have interesting twists...

You can see that Cameron wanted to create a "Star Wars" for our time and he did.
Yeah, well worth the wait.
I hope this movie will blow Titanic's record out of the waters. I mean it's much better than Titanic. It's also got a love story in it, and it got FRICKIN' BLUE ALIENS RIDING 6 LEGGED HORSES GOING UP AGAINST 10m HIGH EXOSKELETTONS WITH GUNS!!!
Sorry, that had to come out.

Now I hope he does that to Battle Angel Alita...
