I didn't go to see it for the story. We went to see what they could pull off with this new technology. This is the first time I felt totally engrossed in the movie and had to pee like a mother and didn't budge for three hours. It was Disney meets Kevin Costner... so what?
It was a kick ASS 3D experience, in my opinion. It wasn't supposed to be realistic or plot-rich, come on. They made me feel like I was in the movie for the first time. So, I enjoyed it. And I was with a techno-geek who felt the same things I did, which totally enhanced the experience.

If you're going for the story, skip it.
If you're going to see what James Cameron and his team accomplished with new technology and the bar that has been set, go see the real 3D.
