I can't help wanting more of the Halo, and less of the FernGully.

Oddly, upon first viewing of the trailer yesterday, I thought it looked too George Lucasy and hated it. This is partly because I, like many others hold Aliens and Terminator in such high esteem... But having settled with it, and realised that there is no other way to tell such a story I've since embraced it, and am now back on track with my Avatar relationship...
Besides the thing we hate about the Star Wars prequels is that the story is tosh, so in theory could be great.

I'm now a converted optimist :)

Like many, I am worried that this might not live up to the hype. That said, apart from pirahna 2, I have yet to see a bad Cameron movie. This trailer showed enough to me to suggest that this will be a great film. Lets not forget that cameron is a master of the 'war' in space movie. The thing that did dissapoint was that I saw nothing here other than well polished CGI, but certainly nothing that suggests a film making revolution. However in defense, this is the first full live action movie to intigrate the new 3 d technology, so things could be very different when you put the glasses on, just think: overhead space explosions and ships flying overhead, it could be amazing. Finally for the doubters, don't forget that cameron is one of the Grandfathers of action films whilst maintaining excellent characters, it's not just about the effects for him, unlike Lucas.

It looked good but when your expecting something as revolutionary as the first "talkie" it's a little disappointing...

So let me get this straight... a human navi hybrid is leading a resistance that threatens the very presence of humans on this planet... and he's being controlled by a fella in a human lab?

Erm...

Well...?

VISUAL EFFECTS IS NOT IMPORTANT BU THE STORY IS! - 22/8/2009 12:50:30 PM

When it comes to using visual effects in this highly anticipated film, most of you have set your expectations too high and yes, i was a bit disappointed at first but the V/F shouldn't matters as long as there will be a lot of action sequences that I'm sure of will make my mouth open and say, "Can't believe what I'm seeing!". But whenever it comes to the story, I'm sure that the Master of Science Fiction will impress us once again as he always know what to. Shame on you for doubting him and it's only a trailer so how can you say it's not good or not bad. Just wait until the end of the film and I have no doubt that James Cameron will have directed the greatest sci-fi film of all time and one of the greatest ever. So relax and wait for the months to fly. Thanks for reading

& why's that? Because Cameron has been banging on about how this will change the face of cinema & about the photorealistic cg etc. Now we know that was all bullshit.

 This just looks like Pixar with a lot of violence. I'm not gonna write it off, but please, Empire, try to be objective in the build up to its release. Don't bang on about every new trailer between now and December. We all know Cameron doesn't do bad movies, but this could really suffer from over hype.

Who on earth wrote the captions for this and how much is James Cameron paying them? What more do we want from a movie? Well a decent story would be nice. Please calm down Empire. So far all we've got to go on is some hype from Cameron and a fairly disappointing trailer.

From the 3d Preview Screening - 23/8/2009 11:24:08 PM

Hmmmm... ok guys, here's my two cents.

I saw the preview screening before I saw the trailer and I have to say that the trailer doesn't do it justice.

3D aside I think it looks like a very solid sci-fi film with the kind of full-out worlds we've read about in books/ seen in games but haven't seen too much on the big screen.

Whats sets it apart though (imo) is that the 3d just makes it all so intense. There's a scene where the main guys gets chased by the big rat-lizard thing and lasts about 5 minutes... I was exhausted after it! This is a film that just won't let you switch off.

The story/setting/visual effects on their own won't revolutionise cinema but no-one has done 3d this well before and that is what is making it stand out.

It may not be the best film ever, maybe not even close, but it's going to be one hell of an experience.

Thanks Zedferret for that link. I kinda like Unobtanium now. Maybe more creative than I first thought. Though surely by making it a real resource it becomes less facetious and even more silly. Think I'll rechristen it Pandamonium.

 ...does Empire get sent along notes from the production companies to do these trailer breakdowns? The captions always have way more info than I manage to gleam from the trailers! In this case it actually helped me figure out what was happening in the Avatar trailer! Cheers!

But underwhelmed by the whole thing really. I was expecting something that merged cgi with live action and didn't look like one of the TV spots for a new console game (Halo 3, Gears of War). when cameron said we wouldn't be able to tell the difference between what was real and what was cgi I assumed the computer stuff would be ultra real, Instead, the live action stuff looking more like a computer game. After seeing the trailer it looks like it's going to animation with a bit of live action interspersed, so now a can lower my expectations. I just hope I don't walk away with the same feeling of the CGI being overdone like I did with the Star Wares prequels.

The scenes where the creature thing is chasing Jake and the opening sequence and those realism of those eyes in Dimensional Real 3D is unbelievable.

Maybe lightning will strike twice... These haters are ridicolous. Most of them proably didnt even see the 3D screening(Thats the way to see Avatar)

And if they read up on the thing, there are two versions of Avatar visuals. THey arent even finished tthe overall SFX...

Brillant, reminds me of when I first saw JP, and SWs 77...Except this feels bigger!!!

Much Bigger.

Folks only see this in a Digital real 3D Theater... And I guarantee no film comes close for giving you a true jaw dropping experience. I mean folks were sweating in sequences only 8 mins long lol.



TY Mr. Cameron!!
