That's exactly what I'm looking for in Avatar. Cameron's position throughout the development of the movie has been that 3D has never been used to add more immersion to a movie. I think that _Up_ is the only 3D film I've seen that didn't artificially exaggerate movement along the z-axis to say "HEY LOOK BITCHES THIS IS 3D COMING RIGHT AT YOUR FACE!"
