As we thaw out from these frigid temperatures has anyone seen this movie yet? Worth the watch for underwater sci fi for the holidays?

Wife and I (both divers) saw it last Thursday in 3-D IMAX. Closest thing to diving without getting wet. It's a long: 3hrs, 10 min run time. First third is in the forest and sets-up the story line. Once they get to the tropics, it becomes almost magical. Do your best not to get hung up on the plot, the messaging, the obvious characters, or any of that. Stop, breath, don't think, -- and enjoy the amazing visuals.As we thaw out from these frigid temperatures has anyone seen this movie yet? Worth the watch for underwater sci fi for the holidays?

Possible spoiler alert to follow, but fun for anyone who has seen it already....
We learn three things (all tongue in cheek):
1- Why Jamie Lee Curtis is still so young and smokin' hot looking;
2- That it's OK sometimes to hold your breath;
3- Don't EVER mess with a whale.
A sub-zero afternoon well spent in a warm theatre.
I read that online, but I don’t see the similarities. One was trying to make friends with the locals, the other not so much.Wife and I are going with some friends this Thursday night..... IMAX Theater for sure... Hope it's great!
PS...... Anyone else happen to notice that the original Avatar was basically a total rip off of Dances With Wolves?
I sent that very same The Far Side to a friend who once called that film "Dances with White Liberal Guilt," who was -- is -- of Japanese and German extraction. I saw the first Avatar and was unimpressed by the floating rocks, ripped off from old Roger Dean album covers -- and the blue monkeys just didn't do jack for me . . .
