>The problem is it tried so hard to be a 3D movie that it was lacking in all other area.

This is okay IMO. There is no shortage of great movies. I don't mind that we've got Avatar: the incredible tech demo with uninteresting plot instead of Avatar: a good movie.

Exactly. I went along to see Avatar because I hadn't seen a 3D movie and figured I'd go and watch the best version of the technology. I enjoyed the experience, and also didn't bother seeing any other 3D movies and haven't seen Avatar a second time.

That’s a good way to look at it as a ‘tech demo’. And the greatest one we’ve ever seen!
