Avatar is a visual treat. Every other frame could be made into a half-decent poster or mural. The color palette is vibrant, evocative, and the art style juuuuuust close enough to 'real-life' as to be convincing, but not so close as to be accused of 'realistic.' Yes, the story is essentially just Dances with Wolves, but I'm not watching Avatar for the riveting plot, or detailed, captivating characters. I watch it because it's GORGEOUS.
