I'm a CG Animatior and Pixar are undoubtedly the best in the industry from a technical standpoint. They have the best animators and the best in-house programs behind their visuals. Avatar is undoubtedly well made, but the CG Animation is not on the level of Pixar Animation studios. Pixars CG Animation abilities are far beyond what is on display in Avatar.

The line where Col. Quaritch says "fight terror with terror" is where the entire cinema cringed and was polarised completely against the warmongering humans if they weren't already. “The story is terrorism, coming of age, 9/11, odd-love rehash you’ve seen 1,000x”

That's normal, as you said we've done this 999 times before 3D. The 3D technology allows us to feel like we are escapaing into the movie (If we can just get the person to stop talking on their cell phone next to us). I very much enjoyed the movie. It need a few throw away lines to answer a few questions (I`d spoil it if I said), and a definately need to see on the big screen é 3D to get the movie.
