Saw Avatar over the weekend.  If you haven't seen it, go see it ASAP.  Watching
it on TV won't be the same...this one is a real looker, even the non-3D version.

Whether you like incredible scenery (much of which is bio-luminescent at night),
hardware (mech walkers and giant mining machines for instance), the next advance
in state of the art computer animation, really cool aliens and alien ecology,
battle scenes (in the air and on the ground), primitive (?) meets high-tech
conflicts, respect the environment messages, or what terrain might look like on
a planet with a large amount of room temperature super-conductor in its crust,
you'll find something to like about this movie.  It's real SF stuff, done really
well.  I expect to see it in a bunch of award categories next year.
