James Cameron's AVATAR

[e.l.e.]

His long awaited movie finally has a trailer. The real draw of this movie is going to be the next generation 3D visuals, but even in 2D it looks pretty cool.

Just watched the trailer. Felt it move thinking about blu-ray and plasma on that bitch.

Wonder how the story goes, looks like they find some new hidden race beneath the earth or something and then steal the bodies for soldiers. ?????????????????

And then start a war, which looks awesome.

But yeah, special effects awards are pretty much spoken for after this huh?

 

[speeds]

Just as a technical achievement the film is outstanding. Hopefully the story can live up to it.

Quick Summary: In the future, Jake, a paraplegic war veteran, is brought to another planet, Pandora, which is inhabited by the Na'vi, a humanoid race with their own language and culture. Humans cannot breathe Pandoran air, so they genetically engineer human/Na'vi hybrids known as Avatars that can be controlled via a mental link. Jake falls in love with a Na'vi princess and becomes caught up in the conflict between her people and the human military who are trying to exploit their world.


On a sidenote, I got to go see 16 minutes of footage last night in 3D and WOW! The 2D trailer doesn't do this movie justice... at all. I've never seen anything like it, it was like being in another world. The 3D isn't used as a gimick with things flying at your face. It's used to add depth and spacial awareness to everything you see, and it works. The CG characters have incredible detail and their facial expressions are very good. You simply have to see it in 3D.

Sounds freaking awesome. Am I wrong in thinking that the 3d won't translate to home viewing. I know the old kind of 3d works with special glasses, but I suspect this one might have to be seen in theaters. Looks worth it anyway!
