グリフィス said:From 2:40 to 2:50 of that trailer, that's the reason.* Unlike those movies though, I don't find the material inherently compelling, but my inner young John Connor says the future's not set, and to go throw on some silly 3D headgear (*which I've also yet to ever do) and see if the old man has something left to show me, even if it means I'm probably walking into this. It's hard to think of examples where this actually works out though... but the only one I can think of, which is still a very different situation from this, also happens to be the latest: Inglorious Basterds.
I think it's right at home in this threadnjashi9 said:It might be a good idea to create an Avatar thread soon since it starts in theaters next week.
Watching the trailers made me laugh pretty hard, it looks like early PS2 era FMV graphics. Metal Gear Solid 4 looks better than this movie during gameplay, it's really nothing amazing. As for the premise, like Aaz said, it seems horribly predictable to me.Aazealh said:Second, the claims of incredible lifelikeness and revolutionary techniques we've been hearing for so long have set expectations that the movie does not seem to match so far. Sure, it's well done, but I wasn't blown away by what I saw.

Walter said:Titanic can suck my balls. That's when Cameron lost his marbles, for me.
The Perineum Falcon said:I must say, when someone claims that they've "revolutionized" cinema, it's not something I take lightly, and that's really the only reason I'm buying a ticket for this: to find out exactly what this nut seems to think he's done here, even if I'd be better off staying at home and renting Final Fantasy.
I guess it sounds like I've gone and gotten my mind all made up about this picture, but I haven't, not really. It's intriguing for the reason stated above, and I really do prefer it when I find myself not feeling like I wasted a good twelve bucks at the end of the day. *fingers crossed*

Aazealh said:Personally, while I don't think Avatar is going to be bad (and I also believe it'll do well at the box office), I can't help but to be uninterested in it and to generally consider it negatively. There are two reasons for it: first off, the premise seems awfully cheesy and predictable from the little I've seen (~10 minutes of footage revealed a while back). Second, the claims of incredible lifelikeness and revolutionary techniques we've been hearing for so long have set expectations that the movie does not seem to match so far. Sure, it's well done, but I wasn't blown away by what I saw.

グリフィス said:There was one, it was deleted at the request of the author after the trailer came out and it looked like A Bug's Life 2.

James Cameron may not be done with outer space adventures once his sci-fi epic Avatar opens next week.
Production Weekly tweets that Cameron is developing a sci-fi action script penned by Shane Salerno (Armageddon, Aliens vs Predator - Requiem) for 20th Century Fox (also the studio behind Avatar).
PW didn't provide any further details than that, but SCI FI Wire claims that the project is likely Doomsday Protocol, a spec script that Salerno sold to Fox in the fall of 2008.
The Hollywood Reporter described the project at the time as "an epic science fiction adventure in the vein of The Seven Samurai" that revolves around a group of aliens and humans with various super-abilities who are brought together to save Earth.

The Perineum Falcon said:What's most surprising about this is he's still speaking of doing all these later projects when he (read: no one) is sure about the success of his over-budgeted movie, which, if it fails (or does not return a profit) would make all these plans of his nil. And if this is the direction he is going, is probably the better outcome for all of us.
Oburi said:I think Battle Angel Alita would be cool.
NightCrawler said:All Cameron should do to redeem himself is True Lies 2. Who's with me?
Aazealh said:True Lies is overrated IMHO.
