This very long film was an awesome, visual trip. Obviously groundbreaking in its conception, Cameron has produced an impressive film and everyone seems to think so; except me. It's one thing to do something that's never been done and have it turn out neato looking, but that doesn't automatically guarantee an inspiring film. I think many people have forgotten that they are two separate feats and his second feat of presenting this film fell a bit flat in my humble opinion. It was way too long and needed much editing. The characters were not terribly deep or had substance and I felt like the morals, man versus nature, were rammed down my throat. It wasn't a bad movie, but it has to be taken for what it is. It is visually stunning and the world he created is amazing. The effects are amazing. I like that our hero is a wheelchair bound Marine who finds more than just a job to do. There are many really cool things about this film. However, I just don't think that it is the drop dead, cutting edge, film to end all films.
Bite: It has to be seen but perhaps not the whole 162 minutes.
