Sci-fi epic by James Cameron

His resume:
Terminator - 1984
Aliens - 1986
The Abyss - 1989
Terminator 2 - 1991
True Lies - 1993
Titanic - 1997
(32 Oscar nominations, majority won).

Avatar is set during the 22nd century on a small moon called Pandora, which orbits a gas giant, and is inhabited by the tribal Na'vi, ten foot blue humanoids that are peaceful unless attacked. Humans cannot breathe Pandoran air, so they genetically engineer human/Na'vi hybrids known as Avatars that can be controlled via a mental link. A paralyzed Marine named Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) volunteers to exist as an Avatar on Pandora. Those from Earth find themselves at odds with each other and the local culture.

Aha, shit is about to get real. James Cameron will make us, his bitches.

Edit:

Holy crap, it's Wollan!

Welcome to Hades, the land of the dead and forgotten. Even the forgotten ancient end up being forgotten here...

I don't have my 3d googles with me

I'm keen to see the super wizard CGI ...

OptimoPeach · « **Reply #3 on:** August 20, 2009, 09:42:41 AM »

Ha wow, this whole time I thought that Avatar and The Last Airbender were the same film

I was sitting here trying to figure out why this was taking place in space.

Apple.com/trailers could possibly crash when it happens.

Maybe it will be quickly added to this (awesome) website:

Yep. I've had that site open for a while now.

Another download link should apple.com/trailers fail us:

Pretty crazy. Movie is releasing on Dec.18th, cost $240m to make and this is the first (teaser?) trailer.

Also, in various 3D and Imax cinemas across the world tomorrow you can watch 16min of the movie free (August 21st is dubbed 'Avatar day').

trailer was cool until it turned into a videogame.

WrikaWrek · « **Reply #21 on:** August 20, 2009, 11:17:41 AM »

Meh

Clear CG being used. So the whole CG looking real thing is bs. But it looks like an awesome movie, and the whole 3d thing will be nuts.

Barry Egan · « **Reply #22 on:** August 20, 2009, 11:20:16 AM »

don't really dig the aesthetic

Barry Egan · « **Reply #27 on:** August 20, 2009, 11:26:47 AM »

All the inspiration for this movies art design can be found in early Xbox titles...

Brehvolution · « **Reply #28 on:** August 20, 2009, 11:28:46 AM »

Sure is colorful. The closest imax to me is 2 hours away.

the jungle looked nice.

cool breeze · « **Reply #30 on:** August 20, 2009, 11:34:19 AM »

I thought everything looked nice until the characters were shown. The CG characters look a bit off.

Just saw it. There's absolutely nothing in that trailer that looks on par or better than Davey Jones or Gollum. The movement of the Avatars, their dead cartoony eyes, movement of the mouth etc all look off.

Uncanny Valley wins again

He said "this".
Anyway, Trailer looked quite amazing to me. Those effects, mixed with JC's style of story telling, will be epic.

Before viewing trailer: James Cameron!

After viewing trailer: $:-\$

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #45 on:** August 20, 2009, 01:22:15 PM »

the only thing that looks off are the blue things.
the environments and stuff looks pretty amazing. those floating mountains don't really look CG at all.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #46 on:** August 20, 2009, 01:23:40 PM »

Underwhelming cg aside, the actual art direction looks weak as well. Especially the various human vehicles, the main character's dumb gas mask, etc.

someone posted this on gaf

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #47 on:** August 20, 2009, 01:26:20 PM »

Yeah, it looks like recycled Terminator and Matrix concept art.

Also, could that story be more telegraphed from just a teaser? This looks like Dances with Wolves in space.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #48 on:** August 20, 2009, 01:30:14 PM »

I was thinking more along the lines of Pocahontas Pandora myself!

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #49 on:** August 20, 2009, 01:35:10 PM »

watched it a second time in higher resolution. the only real issue i have with the CG is that it looks too clean. needs more grit. maybe they're going for that though.
i think it'll be pretty awesome to watch in IMAX 3D

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #50 on:** August 20, 2009, 01:42:51 PM »

IMO this doesn't look CG at all

yep. There's really nothing about this movie that seems appealing aside from Cameron's name being attached.

It's an epic scifi movie. That alone is enough to get my attention.

People need to watch the 1080p trailer on Apple. 1:30 in, the close up of the female na'vi is amazing.

"It doesn't look like CG at all!"
