It turned out to be the best selling, most seen movie of all time.

This is also 1 of 3 movies, he's making 2 more movies to create a trilogy, kinda like star wars, George Lucas waited years to gain the technology he needed to create the remaining 3 movies. I can only imagine how badass the next 2 movies will be, as like most good trilogies, the best is at the end. and the story seems more grand when you've watched the whole story unfold.

Yes the movie is kinda preachy, but there's a lot of good underlying messages besides don't fuck with mother nature, and to respect the earth, belief in one's self, one's identity, and sticking up for what is right, all noble beliefs, something today's culture of fb/twitter junkies could use more of.

In closing if that doesn't turn your mind on the movie and what will be a trilogy, a good friend of mine told me she thought the Avatar people were sexy blue kitties, and the 2nd time I watched the movie I totally got what she meant and made me laugh, might make you do the same if you keep that in mind, lol.

I feel you're a bit misinformed on your facts. As you pointed out it's not the first 3d movie.
But you're mistaken that it's the first to be filmed entirely in 3D.
3D cameras have been in existence for a while before Avatar. What makes Avatar so revolutionary in this field is that Cameron created a new kind of 3D camera technology, which didn't even get exploited very much (Requiring the theaters to use a different kind of glasses than the normal).

I'll be so glad when the 3D fad dies off.
