Even if one agrees with their leftist viewpoint, it's a shame that no one in Hollywood is able to walk and chew gum at the same time: How refreshing it would be if they could make a serious film with a novel plot that ALSO included amazing special effects... but apparently they can't, or don't think it's worth the trouble. Political views/motives aside, special effects should enhance a film, not be the reason for the film.
Wow. You are going to miss the coolest movie Hollywood has pumped out in decades (in my opinion as well as most people who watched the movie).
This is a movie that is made for 3D on a big screen.

Despite the curiously odd opinions of the tough crowd on this board, the movie is awesome.
The animation is so good, you forget you are watching a partial cartoon. The story is similar to others but with some cool twists.

This movie set the bar for the next gen sci-fi genre.

Bravo, Mr. Cameron.
