Avatar

So, we are watching Avatar.  We are about 40% through this movie and Alice isn't sure she wants to see the rest because the idyllic situation is soon to change with tanks moving in to destroy the beautiful "rainforest."  Alice liked the parts about flying.  These dizzying scenes, I confess, aren't really my favorites.  Overall, the movie is OK but we are having a difficult time understanding how it could become the number one best selling movie of all time.  We started the movie in mid-January (it was actually Alice's birthday gift to me) and we hope to finish it sometime in February.
