I FINALLY WATCHED IT.

I never saw any of the movies listed in this thread, but I did intentionally "boycott" this movie just because everyone said it was a rip-off of previous stories. I read the spoilers and everything.

Did I like it? Yes, a lot, though it's not in my top ten favorite movies.

There were elements to the story which made this way deeper to me than what the summaries above were. It was (to me) about the main character's journey through the grief of losing his brother as well as the grief of being paralyzed. That's really all I thought through the whole movie.

Anyway, definitely a great movie.

I'm glad you liked it, although having watched it on DVD I must say that the whole 3D in theater experience thing was really important to my appreciation of it. But perhaps I paid more attention to the plot on DVD and the 'i really want to fly on Pandora' thing in the theater.
