I went to see Avatar today with hubby. I am impressed. Very lush movie, with an amazingly dense ecology. No 'let's shoot it at Vasquez Rocks because it looks alien' kind of movie. Yes, it was mostly CGI, but what a vision it presented. I really got into the story, the culture and the world it presented. I am glad that I found a theater that showed it non-3D. I am sure that 3D would have made it more dense and believable, but even the version that I saw was almost too much for me with my acrophobia. Several scenes made me dizzy and fearful. I am not sure that I could have handled seeing it more realisticly. This movie is going on my list of 'must purchase' dvds.
While watching the trailers for upcoming films, the trailer for Ridley Scott's "Robin Hood" looked good. Hubby said, "Does the world really need another Robin Hood movie?" I can't answer that, but the combination of Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe seems good. Judge for yourself:

The other trailer that I liked was for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. I almost did not recognize Jake Gyllenhaal here, with Ben Kingsley as the villain. It seems good. Gyllenhaal seems to have added some muscle and looks good undressed. And since I loves me a good villain, Ben Kingsley looks wonderful. Hopefully it will live up to the trailer.
