James Cameron's Avatar movie trailer

[dewd457]

So this film has become so hyped now that a gaming website feels the need to report on it. I understand that a game is coming based on the film but there was no actual "news" relating to it, only to the trailer.

Urgh I wish James Cameron would just go away, the trailer wasnt even that impressive imho.

Meh, this trailer is way better:

As a CGI spunkfest, it looks pretty cool.

Graphically it looks great but other then that, there is no appeal for me at all. It actually looks boring.

Good God that looks incredible from a visual stand point. I look forward to the movie being released. I'm a bit concerned that humanity is doing some rather nasty things, perhaps in the shape of being "body snatchers", of the local inhabitants. Ah well, I'll keep hoping that humanity isn't a complete bastard "bad guy" group in "Avatar".

This trailer actually shows just how good game design is these days, when such an expensive movie has such average design. The creatures themselves are utterly underwhelming. As they're so close to human in shape and structure, I don't understand why they didn't use actors and CGI any extra alien detail on top if needed. Making CGI human-like effects stands out as so fake, as we know how a human hand/eye/hair, etc work and react. The biggest issue is that in an imaginery alien world, with an enormous budget, and access to anyone and everyone in the creative world, and the aliens turn out like this!!!! Anorexic, broken nosed, elf earred, blue tall humans! Wow (and not in a good way). Seriously any old creature design from practically any old videogame made in the last five years probably has more creative and original ideas!

Ignoring that, the dragon-alike is absolutely typical CGI sci-fi. The director said after watching Lord of the Rings he was convinced the technology has reached a point where he could make this movie. He's right if you're not bothered about computer images looking like computer images. Actually a decent combination of old fashioned special effects, minatures, make up and bit of CGI would have been far more convincing.

needs more CGI

Yeah, this film looks great, Star Wars for the 21st centuary. The game will be better FF7, Mass Effect, Deus EX, and the rest. James Cameron rocks, YEAH!!!!!!!!!

Think positive people.

I was actually looking forward to this film, but it looks like a load of cut scenes from "insert fantasy RPG name here". 'From the Director of Titanic', did he have to remind me of that? That film sucked donkeys ass, no matter how profitable it was or how many misty eyed nostalgia lists it tops. Seriously, if the 3d doesn't pay off he is going to look like a mug. You can expect 5 star reviews from Total Film/Empire magazine however it turns out, being the excitable children with pens that they are.

Classic CVG proof reading! "Trailer form the film"///

[altitude2k]

Those are blatantly Pelicans and Hornets in that trailer...

[Sonic Fanboy]

looks like a sci-fi scrap of cowboys vs indians, in HD

As this doesn't much of the plot away, besides the aeriel dog-fight I'll hold off on judging it too harshly, but it doesn't look to be doing anything new, if the 3d system they use isn't totally revolutionary then the only gimmick this has going for it will be a waste of time.

Watch "District 9" if you want to see sci-fi done with some sense of originality.

I think that Cameron's problem with this is going to be that he's spent too long on it. When he started he was using cutting edge technology. Let's face it, if this had been released 5 years ago (before we were all spoilt by "next gen" graphics), we'd have all been much more impressed. Now we look at it and think, "It's good, but not spectacular".

As someone else stated, this all rests on whether the 3D is any good!

Am I wrong for not getting excited about this film? Let us not forget that the last film this man made was Titanic. Commercially it did very well, yes, but I didn't enjoy it at all, to be honest.

Terminator 2 was his last truly brilliant film, and that was a very long time ago.

Looks pretty decent.

I suppose it'll look incredible in 3D, the way its meant to be seen. In 2D the cgi looks a bit of a letdown. Star trek has now set the benchmark for special effects.
I can't believe I fell for the hype about the special effects for avatar.
Hopefully the movie itself will be fun.
