Film review in 3x140 characters, Avatar
Just posted this on twitter but might as well save it for posterity here:
FX review: Beautiful shots, awesome CGI and believable world. 3D not necessary, would trade for deeper color.
Story review: Lovely story, builds up social ties well in the first part. Villain not very fun. End part predictable.
Verdict: If you like simple stories and beautiful, expensively made scenery - Go see it, def entertaining!
Not very happy about the 3D experience though, glasses are annoying to wear for 3 hours - even using contact lenses instead of glasses as I normally wear. The experience tends to break too often and remind you that you are in a theater, especially when you try to focus on something other than the director wants you to. In 2D that doesn't bother you but in 3D it does because it breaks with how 3D is created. What really bugs me with a beautiful and colorful movie like Avatar is that 3D also has less color depth, I'd rather watch it in 2D with greater fidelity.
