The fps brouhaha was overwrought. It seemed to make some of Jackson's patented sweeping shots a bit ... brighter, and I've read some complaints that this made them seem fake. Or maybe they just seem more real than we've ever been able to deal with on screen? Avatar looked "fake" when I saw it in 3D. Also beautiful. If you're a die-hard fan but also liked the trilogy movies, you'll dig this beyond belief. It's the perfect mix of solemnity and levity.
