A movie where the intention was never to deliver some epic, groundbreaking story....but a movie where the intention was to deliver a groundbreaking visual journey. One where the viewer actually can identify with Sully when he says 'i couldnt tell what was reality anymore' because the cgi is that ridiculous.

Yeh the movie was predictable and some of the characters def cliched(the general of course comes first to mind).....but cotdamn, the environment that was created and how immersive the movie became was amazing.

The realism of the cgi characters and some of the shots Cameron used within a cgi format have never been seen before because no one has acheived this level of detail in a cgi format before. The limitations that cgi presents were overcome. The threshold between realism and special effects has never ever come this close to being blurred. Kudos.
