This film will change the way movies are presented for certain. The 3D presentation is not a gimmick or used as in your face objects and shock moments. It's used to give far better immersion and scope. The only question mark is if people will buy into the story and the characters. If they do, the movie will pull in a huge audience. It won't matter much if the CG is not 100% believable, or if some renderings have glitches etc.
There are a fair number of mistakes in Titanic, some even distracting. But the pureness of the emotion carried the film, despite some cheese ball scenes and dialog.

I agree.
I do think that the CG and 3D work will be near-perfect though as Cameron has been doing production on this movie for ~ four years. I think that these aspects of the film will be seen as a strength of the film.
It will all come down to how the audience relates to the characters and the story.
This film has the potential to incite a revolution within the film industry in terms of how movies are made... but in order to have its full impact it must be a financially and critical success.
James Cameron is following this film up with Battle Angel which will be filmed using all the same technologies developed for AVATAR.
After seeing what can be done with this technology, I would love for Warcraft to be filmed using it as it would have the capability to create the races and setting seamlessly.
