Ok.
I'm REALLY not trying to be a snarky git here, REALLY, but watching the latest trailer in theaters, I found myself getting even LESS interested in this movie. Having seen what District 9 pulled off (for one TENTH the price of Avatar), is making this trailer severely underwhelming.
I'll still end up seeing it in theaters (don't know yet if I'll be there opening weekend), but the story had better be INCREDIBLE to unseat D9 as my fave flick of the year…

At around the 1:40 mark, with that tunnel vision, it looks just like the tunnel vision in the new game Borderlands, which also happens to be on a planet called Pandora.

as an eye candy lover it pains me to say this trailer drives me even further from Avatar. i was into until about the two-minute mark when everything becomes CGI video game cutscene. the Feliz Na'avi Dads faces look horrible at expression/talking.

I'm not gonna lie, this has me excited. It won't live up to the hype, but if its half as good as aliens I'll be happy

I thought this was a huge improvement over the teaser trailer. Some story and some action rather than just being vague with borderline cartoony visuals. The technology looks impressive and while I thought this trailer was awesome it's still not going to come close to the hype I initially had for it and that others had built. Coming in with no expectations I probably would have been blown away though.

That being said, the 25 minute preview was outstanding in 3D though. Just not revolutionary.

I saw the IMAX preview in August. This thing has to be seen in IMAX 3d to really do it justice, it blew my mind.

Game cut scenes my ass. This looks like nothing I have ever seen before, can't wait to experience this new world in the theater!!! Freaking AWESOME!!!!

I too was extremely skeptical about Avatar in the beginning, most likely due to the lack of good advertising as well. This trailer actually gets me interested in the story of the movie and connects me to the characters. It's got quite a few big names acting that would have helped the movie if they had been shown in an earlier trailer. The fact that the posters, and early trailers told you nothing about the story was only detrimental. If the U.S. gets this trailer, then I can see many more people becoming interested in it and asking questions about it.

Have you seen the World of Warcraft cinematics?

i think its funny with this movie, everyone loves an underdog (D9, which really wasnt super good it was just ok.. paranormal activity) but when a big time budget movie comes out everyone HAS to bash the crap out of it. to honestly say that this looks like a video game cut scene makes your whole comment dumb. i have never seen a video game look like this and if i did id be playing that game 24/7. this is the best cgi in a movie to date right now, you can express all you want how it looks silly design wise but cgi wise this is the best that we've ever had and to deny that is just unrealistic. take into account that most people dont really know a ton about the hype of Avatar (only internet geeks really know about the hype) so them seeing this cgi is going to get them interested in this. especially with that trailer, it is very impressive

LOL. Best CGI to date? We’ve only seen the trailers, for Christ’s sake. How do we know there won’t be some screwed up CGI in the rest of the film?

That was a great comment Nick. I am a gamer and I never seen Graphics like that in my life so come on people you gona tell me that there are games with this graphics lol get a life, I cant wait for this movie and I think is gona be the best movie ever made and I hope it makes the most money any movie ever made in Theaters like Titanic : )

I cant wait for this movie anymore this looks AMAZING. I never seen anything like this in my life. How can people say that this looks like a game lol I am a gamer so you better tell me what game out there looks like this movie because I never in my life seen anything like the CGI in this trailer. I really hope that this movie makes more money than any other movie ever made in theaters like Titanic : )

It did look like a game cut-scene, which isn't exactly bad, the 3-d will probably make it look better.

Kangaroo is talking about cut-scenes, not game graphics…the cut-scenes are the parts you don’t play (the ones in cgi) not using the game graphics..like in final fantasy or warcraft. Avatar DOES look like a long game cut-scene.

I’ve watched a few trailers from several years back, 90s, 80s, 70s and even 60s. The style of film trailers really haven’t changed much, and if a trailer tells the whole movie in two minutes it just doesn’t have much to it anyway.

I’m also fascinated that people can judge a 3 hour film from 3 minutes.

Also, I don’t think anyone of the casual moviegoers know what the hell Avatar is. They won’t until opening week. So shut your yaps about hype, hype failure etc. 0,8% of the paying public needed to save this film are the geeks who actually wait for the trailers.

Still not sure about the CG, but it def looks like something stupid grand like no one but Jackson and Cameron can do.

you’re forgeting, this is designed for 3D and not some usual 3D, special cameras shooting this special movie.. after you’ve seen it in 3D in IMAX.. write what you think.. IM EXCITED!!!

you`re right man! and that s the fucking point: this movie is not finished!!! camerons deadline is december 10 or something like that. and for all the little haters and shit talkers : this “outstanding” scene is breathtaking as well as all the mountains, leaves, trees and sunlight visuals.. the problem is we need to see how they move act talk to each other .. this is just trailer-shit.. fucking flashlight scenes .. no one can tell how photorealistic this shit is..

the revolutionary part of the movie is gonna be the way that they use the 3D and the mo cap. this film was intended to see in 3D but it looks good to me if it was in 2D, i guess thats wat i keep forgetting is that the 3D is whats supposed to make it more involving and a dif experience

thing is pc and consoles are behind when it comes to making a prettier detailed cutscene like in avatar.

but AVATAR looks way better than any other cgi cutscene from any video game.

you may be right, but take a look at this, not too shabby for a game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yNkMTQekpc

I can’t judge a film by its trailer, but I can judge how its marketed. I get tired of people thinking they understand the full movie by a poster, too.

But I disagree about your comment about casual moviegoers considering the large number of attendees for the Avatar Day special screening they had. I agree that my mom has no idea what Avatar is, but awareness of the project has already spilled out beyond the ten people that read the internet.

I am still not excited. So far, I am skipping this one.

James Cameron is innovative as a writer and director. At least he’s not doing remakes and reboots. I think this movie will be one of his greatest. I plan on seeing it in IMAX 3D.

Please reserve ur judgement till after the movie ..watch it in imax 3d and then come back and compare it to whatever game graphics u want to compare with…don’t be spreading negative hype if no one has seen the final product

I do must say it looks very Warcraft and other video games. I thought James was doing something breathtaking, ground breaking movie. I personally didn’t see the hype but I still don’t mind watching this.

Peggle doesn’t count

this is how ‘innovative’ Cameron is as a writer: http://io9.com/5390226/did-james-cameron-rip-off-poul-andersons-novella

I am still pretty excited about this film. It looks like it will have a strong anti-corporate war message. But it was billed as the film that would change the industry, I don’t think this it.

LOL! That's effing cold! I love it.

If anyone can raise the stakes on special effects it'll be Cameron, but this is evolution NOT revolution. We're still smack dab in the middle of uncanny valley land…

alright, give me 20 bucks for a ticket and i’ll give it a fair shot

You aint played many games then :)

I do hope Jimbo pulls this off …

BATTLE FOR TERRA 2.

I think everyone has that perception, but now they are thinking otherwise. Way to go on having a change of heart before December 18, 2009 :D

Hopefully, this will be a yet another masterpiece from James Cameron

LOL! That's effing cold! I love it.

assasins creed looks cool but avatar is more detailed.

Looks hella' good now. You guys are right though: this IS the trailer that should be airing here!
Granted, it is in the old paint-by-numbers format, but there's a reason that such things become standard S.O.P. – because they work.

I didn't care for this movie before.
Now — I will see it.

One word : Generic. And the blue creatures are fugly. GODAMMIT CAMERON, I BELIEVED IN YOU.

Ehhhh.. I don't know about this movie even after this trailer.

Way to go on featuring this “leaked” preview I wonder how is Apple doing? :D

Judgment Day: 12/6/09

Don't care what the haters say, I'm game. Cameron is one of the world's best film producers along with Bay, Spielberg, and Bruckheimer and so on. (in my book) don't knock it till you've seen it k?

I am so going to see this on opening night and for sure in IMAX 3D this movie looks EPIC .I don't need to say anything more I will just go and watch it there still people who hate Titanic but it's still the highest grossing film ever and won 11 Academy Awards.So online blog haters if you don't watch this movie it will be still a big hit.

The offical avatar trailer – NEW (english verison .. non-thai) finally :D

http://pinoytutorial.com/lifebytes/leaked-offic...

There seem to be a lot of people on here who have forgot that this is a Jmes Cameron movie. Fuck all you haters, you will be the same people who rush to praise the movie when it opens worldwide. I trust the word of Jim Cameron more than any of you nut jobs.

wow the best i dont know what to say my god ang ganda

Thats cold..considering the talks being made about the budget the movie had

I think it would definitely help as a trailer. Avatar was an amazing movie.
