I think you have it backwards. Why deny yourself the immersive 3D Bigscreen experience?
I saw it last night, and while in hindsight the story was derivative, it was incredibly well executed. If anything, Avatar confirms Michael Bay and George (Prequel) Lucas as captial-H Hacks. The action scenes were inventive and
coherant, the characters were worth rooting for, and the world itself was jaw dropping.
I was riveted throughout, despite the story tropes.
I say, hold on to your grim assessment as you go in, but definitely go see it!
