I saw it in 3D and was pleasantly surprised at the restraint the producers 
showed in this copy.  No overdone objects constantly lungeing at the viewer 
but a great sense of depth and relative motion.

A remarkable film, in no way compromised in either format.

I put it up there with "Bladerunner" as a major cinematic achievement in 
it's decade and genre.

And I really, really liked "Bladerunner".  Kudos to both directors in their 
time.

Do see "Avatar" if you enjoy sci-fi and find our consumer culture to be more 
than just a bit troubling.  The film does provide several messages if you're 
paying attention at all.
