I think that says a lot for the immersivness of 3D and how Cameron deploys it. Two and a half hours though, is an awful long time for a film. I'm sure it could be condensed a bit. I have no real beef with the story either. It's a time trusted tale. Having established the world, if Cameron makes another I'd like to see him be a bit more adventurous with the narrative. @Jebel Krong:
