Avatar trailer

[QUOTE="Kamekazi_69"]At least Micheal Bay doesn't show up on the Credits when CGI is a core element in a movie :) LikeHaterade

Right. Because a Transformers movie without CGI would have been fantastic. :roll:

if people keep confusing this with the last airbender I am going to go on a killing spree.

I think it looks pretty sweet. Everyone on gamespot is too pessimistic about trailers.

There were a lot of people saying that Star Trek and District 9 were going to be terrible based off of the previews.

Trust me, my trailer intuition says that this will be good. :P

If I didn't know James Cameron directed this, I wouldn't be too interested. However, I trust that there will be more than mindless action. But from JUST watching the trailer it looks meh.

It looks soooo awesome.

But story wise it doesn't seem too interesting yet.

Looks like a good scifi flick, the cgi looks like it's crysis or something, as in not very realistic like from some movies.

whoa...that was awesome

I prefer this trailer.

At least that trailer made me laugh....

The actual trailer on the other hand was not doing it for me at all. I really don't like that CGI.

I mean, it looks good, but nothing really special. Some of the action sequences look like they could kick serious ass, though.

Anyway, am I the only one a little sick of anthromorphic aliens? You know, aliens that look just like humans except for maybe being a little bit more blue.

funnily enough, the music was the only thing i kinda enjoyed about the trailer...

Meh, It looks like CGI overload and here's what I predict for the plot, there's a tribal race of aliens who are opressed by the technology of man until our hero finds the error of his ways, helps the aliens and fights for their freedom. Or something along those lines.

[QUOTE="Crimtmp"]Titanic? T2? Aliens? The Abyss? lol

Titanic was average, T2 was ok, and the abyss was pretty good until the ending with its stupid moral messages and then it became cheesy, and Aliens was good but that came out in the freaking 80s, that means his last really good film was in the 80s. his last film that was vaguely interesting was in 1997, and he tends to put in cheesy moral messages in his films, with that mind I care even less about Avatar. I will still see it, but I am not very excited. Heck his only really good film is Aliens, that is it. Why should I care about him as a director?

Terminator 2 only ok? its a freaking classic one of the best action films ever made so is Aliens. and "his last really good film was in the 80s" well he doesnt really make many movies, this is his first real film since Titanic, and what cheesy morals were in Aliens or Titantic, or T2?

Anyways the trailer looks amazing.

T2 for the win.

Looking awesome with a great director behind it.

Looks okay but not really impressed.

That was the most worthless trailer I've ever seen for a hyped movie. Seriously, after the 2 minutes, I was literally wondering what the hell I just watched. Hopefully the movie is better.... way better.

I'm sure it won't be BAD.

And Cameron DOES know how to stage an excellent and badass action sequence. Even in a lot of his movies that I've hated (True Lies, The Abyss, T2), one thing you can definitely say is that the action scenes WERE top-notch.

But as far as mere art design, this thing just doesn't look all that impressive. I'm sure that the 3D will be good, but it'll have to be some DAMN good 3D if the movie is going to succeed on that alone. Overall art design just sort of looks like something from any generic sci-fi FPS videogame. Which isn't necessarily bad, but given the hype I really expect more.

And yeah, the trailer doesn't really address the story. But if we can say that James Cameron can stage an excellent action scene, we can also say that some of his movies become a LOT too preachy. That kind of stuff ruined The Abyss, it helped to ruin Terminator 2. Yes, Terminator 2 WAS preachy as hell, and it was ****ing annoying. Considering the supposed ecological themes that are going to be in Avatar, I'm very much expecting that it's going to be another one of his preachy eco-fables.

And does anyone know what's the deal with those "Super Mario Bros" style floating landmasses? Because that **** just looks ridiculous.

Looks like WETA has done another amazing job with the SFX (though I do think that blue characters look as good as maybe they could have).

Edit: And apparently the trailer does not even come close to what people said was epic in the 20 minute preview.

Wow all this hype for this? :? I'm not impressed by this trailer. Is it just me or does some of the CGI look like it's made for a video game and not a movie?:?

Still going to see it though.

I was given free tickets to see this movie in IMAX/3D tonight, but I'm not at all hyped for it. I accepted the tickets without any knowledge of the movie, and seeing this trailer has given me a strong feeling that the movie will be bad. The blue things look horrible; I'm going to have a hard time caring about what happens to these folks.
