Well considering this is a 3D movie that is that is 100% 3D, not used in a gimicky way like previous 3D movies and how it has changed they way big time directors want to film future movies I would say that is groundbreaking wouldn't you?
Saying Cameron is using old tricks in a new way is pretty ignorant I think. Sure 3D has been around a long time but never has it's potential for film making been used like this.
Inventing a new style of film making seems pretty groundbreaking to me.
Sorry for having an opinion before something comes out.
FWIW, definition of groundbreaking
groundbreaking (adj)
—being or producing something like nothing done or experienced or created before

You don't know any of that as you have not seen the film which is my point. You continue to toss out hyperbole for a film that you have not seen.

I see what you are getting at.
But how am I tossing out hyperboles when it literally fits the definition of the word?
People who have already seen the film also seem to agree.

Well its official, Avatar will be good due to Armond White's review: LINK
quote:
While technically impressive, Avatar’s basically a daft version of the Transformer movies’ sci-fi, techno fantasy. Michael Bay’s extraordinary gift for flashy spectacle found perfect expression in the gargantuan slapstick comedy of technology run amok; his teenage characters’ rapport with cars and machines showed an ambivalent relationship with the things that expedite human activities yet threaten our peace and our history. Avatar, however, invents an alternate world to make the airy-fairy pronouncement: “There’s a network of energy that flows through all living things.” Alien-girl Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) teaches Sully how to bond with a tie-dyed, eagle-like creature by docking his wriggly tail into it. “Feel her!” Neytiri urges, and Cameron emulates the boy-plus-car symbiosis of Transformers—but with pulsing loins, veins and orifices. Better than Titanic’s kitschy romanticism, it is Cameron’s most sensual incident since the husband-wife airlift of True Lies yet, strangely, this sexualized conquest suggests latent fascism in his style.
