Just saw it yesterday, liked it a lot. There wasn't a single original idea in the film and at times it was utterly predictable, but still, it was wonderful spectacle and was the most beautiful-looking film I've ever seen.
I had the whole plot figured out in a few minutes. They way they did it though makes it worthwhile.
Also, Zoe Saldana was fantastic. Star Trek didn't give her much to do as Uhura, so I wasn't expected a moving performance here, but. . .wow.
She did give a good performance. The kind of acting they did in Avatar is just about the hardest kind they can do. The actor is in a special suit with sensors on it. They stand in front of a screen and act out the scene and then the computer translates that into the animation. There's nothing there for them to play off of.

I don't use the word like kids do now adays.... but this movie was awesome. I have not enjoyed a movie so much since Religulous.
I think I can say this without giving away anything but think of Dances With Wolves story line, but a thouand times better.
The movie critics loved this film, and I have to say that for once they got it right.
