that's why i'm looking forward to Cameron's next project, as he's said he wants to do more movies on the other planets around Pandora. my main point with the Star Wars comparison is that the two movies are major benchmarks in movie special effects, they don't rely so much on Oscar worthy acting or script writing as much as just bringing you into a new universe

After I saw Avatar the first time I told people that you take the density of the Cantina in A New Hope and make a whole world out of it.
