Anyone making a spoiler-free case for Avatar? The poster has done its part, now I need the pitch.

Ciaran, would be nice to come back to this thread once a few more people have given it a go.

Avatar is one I am weighing up. This is the sort of choice I might miss without someone putting it forward.

Ronan, same question here. A quick note on the pace would help me make up my mind.

For anyone considering Avatar: Leaving a boost while I decide. The hard bit is narrowing the list down to just one.
