I posted above that Avatar is more like a rollercoaster ride that you have to take to appreciate and enjoy it. Watching it at home on a small TV on your couch and in non-3D is like watching the rollercoaster from the ground.

This pretty much sums it up for me.
Flip, I wouldn't call it a bad movie at all. I was entertained, and loved all the eye candy. However I don't think it's a best picture as the story wasn't really new and used a pretty tried and true formula. (as mentioned in my post above this is why I think I need to watch District 9 again as I think it was more of an original story.)
I can see giving it a thumbs up on many fronts but I can't imagine it was a thumbs up for story or dialog...having just read Ebert's review I'm surprised at how much he seems to like it on all fronts.
