I absolutely loved the story line, but the motion sickness ruined it for me. When I see it again, I'll avoid the 3-D completely.
If you ever try it again, try and sit as far back as you can. The key is to sit where you can see the entire screen without having to "scan" the screen left-to-right.
I refuse to sit closer than half-way back in a 3D movie, and have recommended the same to others. With 3D, the half-way point almost becomes the new "front of the screen" (with the 3D depth going backwards from that point).
I get some motion sickness, too, but I only had issues at a couple of points in
Avatar. (Mainly, the scenes where there was a lot of swooping camera moves through the jungle.) I was probably 2/3rds back in the theater.
For me, a lot of the greatness of
Avatar was in the 3D elements. If I had to see
Avatar in 2D, I think I'd rather watch
Princess Mononoke, which has some similar themes and some beautiful animation. (I'd highly recommend that movie as well as
Avatar 3D.)
