)ive always said I believe this land can be successful because of the ability of the films setting can adapt so well to a theme park environment....same as cars and HP.... iconic scenes and landscapes that are rich and immersive
My sentiments exactly. I could take or leave Avatar as a film but the one thing you can't deny is that it's gorgeous. It's a huge testament to the world-building in that movie that it generated such huge box office returns with, as you said, a relatively cookie cutter plot.*I finally saw the movie recently. I have to say, I liked it more than I thought I would. I honestly expected to hate it, because I HATE cartoony CGI, like Disney seems to be obsessed with (see Oz, Maleficent, Alice in Wonderland, etc... pick animation or live action; the in-between irks me so much). But Avatar's visuals were actually quite excellent. The graphics weren't too cartoony, and were pretty impressive. This gives me huge hope for a stunning land and and an even MORE stunning flying ride.
The plot left quite a bit to be desired (it was basically Pocahontas in Space, as others have said), but the execution was pretty decent and the action in it was fairly cool to watch.
That being said, I cannot even begin to guess how they're going to make 3 sequels out of it. I suppose we shall see!
funnily, I think alice in wonderland had more believable cgi characters than OZ the great and powerful.I finally saw the movie recently. I have to say, I liked it more than I thought I would.

Alice had better characters, but the movie overall was just as animated. In my opinion.
Hype!!!!!
Can't wait to walk through this land. Can it beat Diagon Alley? Let's wait and see 
Wow! I'm impressed. I especially loved the look of the nighttime stuff like the plants and walkways. Good job Imagineering!
Hype!!!!!
Well to me Diagon Alley is the best most immersive themed land I've ever been in. This looks like it can beat it.Depends on what you already think. I would imagine to those deeply opposed or that think universal is channeling Jesus - no.
