Final Avatar Trailer Becomes Official

Yahoo Movies has released the final trailer for James Cameron’s Avatar, which we sort of debuted yesterday as the film’s international trailer (remember the Thai subtitles?). This time, we get it in glorious high definition, and at 3 and a half minutes of runtime, it is quite epic. Our own Cole Abaius asked yesterday if this was the trailer to turn all of the naysayers around? The trailer to give all of us the hope we once had for an epic sci-fi adventure unlike anything we’ve ever seen? And from what I can see, it isn’t changing the world overnight — but it still looks pretty cool.

Avatar takes us to a spectacular new world beyond our imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery, as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization. The film was first conceived by Cameron 14 years ago, when the means to realize his vision did not yet exist. Now, after four years of actual production work, Avatar delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film, disappears into the emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story.

Avatar is in theaters on December 18, 2009.

    Sort of reminds me of Star Trek Insurrection...don't know if that was what Cameron was shooting for.
  • The script was around in 1994, so it's more likely that Insurrection copied Avatar. Seriously. I heard a variation of that argument today on a message board when it was being compared to some video games.
  • Don B.
    Regardless of when the script was written, Insurrection was in theatres first. Thus, the perception will be for some that this is a copy in some way of Insurrection. As they say, perception is reality. Of course, Insurrection performed so poorly at the box office that most of the moviegoing public won't even notice this although I wouldn't be surprised if some critics point this out.

    I am going on opening night for this movie for sure in Imax 3d . Titanic 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.
  • Can't we get sci-fi with really "alien" aliens? These Blue Thundercat Smurfs look like something from a kid's cartoon.
  • Not available in my location!?
  • aww shucks! i can't view it! Says not available in my location :(
