Some parts look pretty darn cool, I guess this is the kind of action film I prefer. I love some of the character designs. 1.14 in the video made me cringe though
Edit: I'll be careful not to hype it up too much for myself though. I tend to do that with so many movies nowadays and come out of the cinema feeling somewhat dissapointed
Read an article (think it was NYTimes) and the author was gaga over the director. The people they interviewed are all buying tickets early, and a few games sites have been talking about the game for it already. It looks good, but they're saying it will change the way movies are made. Because he made Titanic, which was a booming success.
Just because it's something different, it doesn't automatically mean it will change the way movies are made. We've already been doing CGI/live-action mixes for a while...
Still looks neat! I think they're just jumping overboard too soon.
Lol I know. Why didn't they choose a younger actor? And for another number, the original avatar had much faster staff swinging. Regardless of dexterity with a shiny stick, I plan on seeing it.
Doubt I will bother seeing it. Titanic bored me too tears, the fun part was the little submarine at the beginning , although i have been told it come back at the end...but I never made it to the end always drifted off.
My kinda action film is Mad Max, not all this modern guff
He's young enough, just a bit... I don't know. That's thread hijacking anyway. XP
It always seems that I'm a fan of less popular cartoons, because my favorites either never get theatrical adaptations or get budget ones that aren't worth seeing.
I think the feel for Cameron's avatar is pretty neat, and the graphics are just plain gorgeous, but when I read the plot line I found it too cliche. Pitted in war... I've heard it so many times now, it just escaped my interest. I'm sure there's more to it, but with the small info I've read about it, I'm not sure what to expect. I'll check the ratings on Imdb when it comes out and see what it gets.
But really, those graphics are drop dead gorgeous.
I like the quality of the CGI, but (and I've always had a problem with this) no matter how good your CG is, (as of yet) if you give people big watery eyeballs it kills the realism. Big eyeballs are all well and good, and they might be more reflective (especially being aliens) but they make them almost look like they're giving off their own light, and they look too cartoony.
So yea, looks cool, but would be better if they made the eyes a little more opaque.
I'd rather see Avatar based off The Last Airbender. I got confused when I saw this sci-fi movie trailer on the TV, I was like .. what the hell?! There's no aliens/mutants in Avatar? Anyway. The guy hasn't released anything since Titanic, and he's doing a completely different genre so it'd be interesting to see if it's a really good movie.
