Marcus I would have agreed with you 100% before watching the film. However, since Cameron filmed it using a completely new motion capture technique (with a camera attached to the actors' faces during filming), the characters are indistinguishable from real humans. You really get the actors performance, not some crap animation. I actually came to love the new race, unlike EVERY other CGI/alien race I've seen before.

Most people (including me) are saying this is the best film of the decade. That says something .
