Best summary of the trailer I've read so far: "Ferngully with guns."

Preview reminds me of the slow build-up that worked so well in Aliens and (yes) Titanic. Second half looks like a '69 Nam hookah trip.

This ... looks terrible.

The preview is unpromising, but I wouldn't mind being proved wrong. At least it seems ambitious, which after a long summer of nothing-but-sequels as far as mainstream Hollywood big budget, high concept stuff goes, is kind of refreshing.

I'm with you on that, sciolism - watched the trailer quite a few times and I've gone from initial "meh", to thinking this might actually be pretty cool. It also feels a bit premature to dismiss it from a 2 minute trailer on a 19" computer monitor when it's been made to be watched in IMAX 3D.

like the part where the main dude is grinning in the lab says "this is great"...it's ugh ugh ugh uncanny valley creepy to the max (plus mongoloid eyes and stupid fantasy kangaroo ears)

I mean, I could easily torrent some old shitty Thundercats episodes if I had some burning need to see anthropomorphic tiger-people shoot bows and arrows at each other.

Cameron's done some cool stuff with creatures...the aliens in The Abyss were neat!
Why does this shit have to look so much like a lame-ass fantasy novel cover?
Bleaurgh.

"If we make money, I guarantee there will be more," Cameron said. "If we don't, we'll pretend it never happened."
it may be two years old, but I still love this touching display of pride in yr work.

The steadily mounting reactions from an apparent Israeli screening of some "Avatar" footage has been resoundingly negative. FWIW:

what a horrifying reveal. The guy who made such cold, dark science fiction is now making a garish, tacky fantasy starring furries.

How come there are giant rocks that can hover but the guy is stuck in a wheelchair?
Also, Papyrus font has been a no no for at least ten years now.

Okay, so I saw the preview before Inglourious Basterds earlier tonight..still looks kinda dopey and the blue tiger people look awful but overall it definitely makes more sense and looks better on the big screen.
