AVATAR!

General
What do you plan on doing with all the rope and that ballgag in you hands?
I know, everyone's putting in their two cents about THE biggest movie of the year, so I might as well too. ^_^
Seriously, it is amazing! I absolutely loved it! The visuals are wonderful and the whole concept of the planet of Pandora and all the life on it was so incredibly thought out. It took Cameron 4 years to bring it all together so it better be. XP
To me it's the greatest movie of all time in terms of the visuals. It's like what Wizard of Oz was when it first came out. It too didn't have a strong story, but the imagination and visuals behind it trumped the story. The same is with Avatar.
Now there's all those comparisons to Dances with Wolves and the inevitable rip of it being "Dances with Smurfs" thanks to South Park. The one time I hate South Park.
*getting off topic for a second*
For a show that coined "Simpsons did it!" in an episode and pointed out that at some point a story or plot has already been done and that it's no big deal, you'd think they'd be a little more open minded to a movie plot being done again.
Anyway, the plot of the film helps move it along, but what you're really paying attention to is how beautiful this movie is. From the environment to the indigenous population and how amazingly real it all looks, you should at least be thoroughly impressed if not completly blown away. Even the natives looked and felt as real as their real life counter parts. In my opinion, the only way you can not like this movie is if you're really a miserable person or very jaded. There's no way you can get so hung up on the plot or how "preachy" it might be. If you are, I feel very sorry for you because you're really missing out.
And the political message isn't a bad one. To me it doesn't say, go buy a hybrid or something like that. It tells me how important life is on all levels, not just the humanoid. It tells me that greed will make us take more than we need and dry out the gifts our planet has offered us.
All that aside, in terms of entertainment, Avatar offers up quite a bit. I definitely recommend that you see it at least once. ^_^

I think Avatar has been in development longer than 4 years, Back after Titanic, I hear he came up with the original script, and wanted to wait for more advanced special effects, Was damn well worth the wait.

Well fours years was the development time for filming and making the special effects up to what Cameron wanted them to be, but the you're right the vision has been around a lot longer.
