It's supposed to be a turning point strictly for how it elevates 3D from just being a gimmick to being an essential part of the experience.
I don't understand the complaint that it looks like just another sci fi action film. Because it certainly looks like it's on a higher calibur of quality than most mainstream sci fi films from this decade, which may not be saying much but I'm a big sci fi fan and because good ones come around so rarely I have a special reason to get hyped over this movie, sure it has all the stuff a sci fi geek loves, like giant robots, dinosaurs and scantly clad alien chicks, so maybe it won't have much in the way of originality, but that's not always a bad thing.
I didn't expect some kind of art movie because for god's sake it's James f*cking Cameron. But because this guy can do a sci fi action film better than any other director in existance that's enough reason for me to get excited.
Anyway. At this point there's no way this movie is gonna flop. The critics have been mostly positive. Ebert, Roeper and Travers all gave it positive reviews.
Yeah I know, Travers is terrible at writing reviews, but at least his ratings are spot on most of the time.
