1. So you can have some conviction in your voice when you join in the national debate over whether it’s any good or not.

2. Even though they’re blue, 10-feet tall and tend to growl and bare their fangs a lot, those Na’vi babes are hot.

3. Best plant life in any movie since The Thing.

4. To answer the age-old question: Who would win a fight between a paraplegic avatar and a hot Na’avi babe against a macho Marine in a robotic armored warfare suit?

5. If you don’t, James Cameron will be very disappointed in you.

6. To find out what an avatar is.

7. What else are you gonna go see, Did You Hear About the Morgans?

8. You get to keep the 3-D glasses.

9. It’s always good to see Sigourney Weaver as Ripley, even if they’re calling her Grace.

10. So you can casually drop “unobtainium” into conversations about rare elements.

11. How else you gonna blog about it?

12. To pick up some basic Na’vi phrases in case it becomes more popular than Vulcan.
