I think I'm going to skip this one.

Maybe "Avatar" will be the one to see on the big screen, but I'm skeptical.

that's odd. The first 3 reviews I looked at were the Sun Times (Ebert gave it 3.5 stars), the Tribune (3 stars) and Variety (they seemed to like it). I checked Metacritic, and it got a number of very good reviews. It's overall score is 50, which means this is pretty much Citizen Kane territory for Emmerich, at least critically.

Really? 3.5 from Ebert? Wow.

38% on Rotten Tomatoes, 25% from Top Critics

Odd. Metacritic assigns the Variety review an 80, rotten tomatoes assigns the same review a thumbs down (splattered tomato).
