Thanks for bringing back the old memories. Haven't thought about that for a long time. Hard to believe that Star Trek:TNG was ever a first-run show!

The only difference is we kept some boundaries intact and never went completely overboard.
I must be getting old, but the thought of learning Na'vi just doesn't thrill me like Klingon once did.

I saw it on the I-Max as well and if you haven't seen it on the I-max, you HAVE to go at least once, before it leaves.
I loved the way the 3-D didn't have any cheap, silly, gratuitous 'throw-something-at-the-audience' moments. It just enhanced the way you perceived the already stunning vistas and heart-pounding action.
While you could make many earth movement political comparisons, I found the movie to be a rich and moving story, with plenty of action to go along.
The way it was filmed allows a deeper suspension of disbelief in the environment and the alien characters themselves.
It was truly awesome.
I am going to go to the I-max again, in the next couple weeks sometime. If you'd like to go as well, let me know and maybe we can go as a group.

Saw it in IMAX 3D. Cameron fixed the horrible 3D experience since he had Sony rebuild the cameras especially for his movie.
I will start out by saying yes, it is Dances With Wolves In Space. the second thing I will say is "so what, this so rules".
The complete shock and awe of the world that Cameron presented took over almost immediately and I didn't care from about 10 minutes in that the main characters were blue. or 9 ft tall, or if they would have been covered in feathers and clucked across the screen. Ok, maybe the clucking wouldn't have gone over too well.
I tried not to build my expectations too much reading about how much Cameron did to enable this picture to be made, reading about some of the rumors of motion sickness, threadbare storylines, etc. None of that mattered to me. I found myself in the theatre seat saying to Cameron "impress me" like you did with Aliens. And he came through completely.
Any one else see it? no spoilers since you have seen the story before, but not with this level of detail and awe.
