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.
I actually really enjoyed the Avatar cartoon. Probably one of the better cartoons out around it's time around here. Can't say I'm too thrilled for the new movie though. Right off the bat, Aang looks more like someone who would get picked on in school. It's like they didn't even try to make him either match the movie, or at all lovable like in the movie. I smell disaster, but what do I know?
The kids name is Noah Ringer, apparently this is his first appearance.. He kind of came out of no where. But enough of this, back on topic!
I swear I've seen that preveiw a while back but it can't have been this, it seems pretty new to me. Looks interesting although, I'm not sure I can add much at this point. As OMC said, there is a touch of over-cartooniness and the storyline feels a bit cliche (although what isn't cliche these days?).
I also feel ashamed that at 0:28 I was reminded of that awful Skyland show (If you've seen it you'll know what I'm talking about. If you havn't seen it... don't.)
Saw this tonight. I quite enjoyed it indeed. Great storytelling and a very fanciful but almost believable world. Even old plot devices and predictable turns were usually acceptable since it was well crafted. Discussions of movies are better in person (post-late-night-movie brain overload and all that), but I just thought I'd mention that I thought it was good. Get the discussion going, you know. It's not without flaws, but on the whole they were worth ignoring.
The advertisement doesn't do it justice, by the way. It's got a fairly interesting plot, even though the general arc is old hat (what general arc isn't?).

I agree with OldMan. The movie wasn't perfect but it looked great and was interesting enough to have me hooked the whole way through. The CGI was good enough to create believeable actors and I didn't really spend any time thinking about how these are actors are "3D Animations" which means that they succeeded in the animation department.
I saw it in 3D aswell which was a good novelty but it might be better to just see it normally.
Hmm just got back. I really liked the film, but it was the first time Ive seen a new film in 3D (appart from at Themeparks ) To be honest, it kinda made some of the action scenes blurry IMO.
Other than that, great film Loved the motion capture techniques in the faces, pretty realistic stuff
That site must be joke.
It looked nice. One of the Weta artists is on a forum I visit and he's constantly been talking about the story is recycled (really is Dances with Wolves. There's nothing else to it) but how people should watch it for the visuals. So it pretty much is the Crysis of films. Recycled pretty. Was okay but I have no desire to see it again.
Btw they're planning 2 sequels and a remake of the Incredible Journey too. The latter of which would look superb I reckons.
Any possible sequels had better be darn good to not ruin the first one. I hate it when movie studios ruin movies by not handling sequels well. By ending the movie the way they did, it kind of leaves a lot open. If you clamp it down by continuing the story, it loses something. :\
Yeah saw that the other day, someone posted it on TIGS. Noticed yesterday the price of Avatar for the PS3 went from £40 to £23ish >_< Was tempted to buy it, but probably would have regretted it.
The only "decent" movie game I've played was Spiderman on the Gamecube, and that was only because I found the web-swinging fun
I wonder if the Prince of Persia movie will be any good?
I only watch the Seventh seal.
The only good movie, in my opinion.
This forum is full of trolls and disinfo agents.

I'm a massive fan of The Matrix so when all those movie games came out I was super pleased! They weren't perfect but I really enjoyed playing them. I think I enjoyed them more than most because I'm such a fan of the movies. I'm sure people feel the same about other movie games, but it's true that most aren't up to scratch.

Matrix is such an amazing movie One of my favorites! Never played a video game version of it, but what I'm thinking, it would be epic. Running on walls, jumping building, stopping bullets, chase scene with Smith, hell yeah!

I absolutely loved the movie, strictly for it's philosophical concept.
