I saw this yesterday. I wish I could have seen it in an Imax theater, I bet it would be quite an experience. The story is well written. Watching Avatar is fairly close to reading a novel, you can see this by the way it is presented. I'm not sure about the main character, but I'd say he passed. The animation is brilliant, we have come along way from simple cartoons.
There is obvious a lot of of religious, political and environmental statements in the movie. The warmongering general saying he will fight terror with terror was particularly memorable. Historical significance is also presented with the American Indians coming to the front. Cameron blended it together well though.

What story is good without a little bit of romance in it? I like that she didn't just fall for him but it was more because of the signs she got about him. The political parts aren't far from the truth but since I don't get into politics I won't say anyore about that.
