And then, a teaser trailer went up at the Apple trailer thingie, featuring the either ominous or just plain hilarious intro gaffe, "From the director of the 'Titanic'."

AVATAR OFFICIAL TRAILER
.
Ok, so there are a few things we’ve been waiting to discuss about this film: Cameron himself has already put forth the argument that with Avatar, we are truly getting something “original” in both content and form. Do you agree with that assessment? Does Avatar live up to the hype of being visually “revolutionary?” And does the story (at first glance) interest you as much as the pretty visuals?
Watch the trailer one more time and then let us ...

James Cameron’s Avatar Trailer (The Real Thing)
Film Junk —
realavatartrailer As everyone sits waiting for the first official Avatar trailer to go online over at Apple.com , the French MSN has apparently beaten them to the punch. Although the trailer is in French, there really isn’t much dialogue anyway. So go ahead and marvel at the first footage released online from James Cameron’s first action film in 15 years! The environments do look quite beautiful and I have to say, I’m intrigued by the idea of people stepping into these mind-controlled versions of themselves. That said, the CG still looks like CG, and I think it’s going ...

‘Avatar’ teaser: I mean, I guess it’s cool…right?
PopWatch —
avatar_trailer The moment a grateful filmgoing nation has waited for is here — the first widely available look at James Cameron’s decades-in-the-making sci-fi wonderama, Avatar . I know there will be, like, two-plus more hours when it unspools this December, so this teaser barely scratches the surface of what the movie is actually about…but I’m kind of underwhelmed. There’s a definite Attack of the Clones vibe to the creatures — which feel like beasts from the sketchbook of an insanely talented 12-year-old — and the world, while expertly realized, just doesn’t carry the ...

... absolutely gorgeous, but I like animated films, and I like seeing mixtures of animation and live-action, regardless of how realistic it looks. I suspect many wouldn't mind, either, if it was clearly defined as such rather than building a buzz around the amazing technology that promises the most advanced computer graphics to ever be rendered by sliced bread—or something to that effect.

... seems to have a generally positive response, but I'm not holding my breath just yet - it looks fairly Sleepy Hollow-esque and the released date has been pushed back again so we are looking at waiting until Feb 12, 2010 to see Mr. Del Toro as the Wolf. Sounds like a perfect Valentine's, no? New creatures are unveiled with the Avatar trailer and overall reaction is that people were expecting to see something completely unlike anything they had before and ended up, not so much. This feels like a double edged sword considering there has been so much secrecy about ...

With only one line of dialogue in it, the trailer shows what appears to be a more or less sequential order of events from the film: Marines arrive on Pandora, Sam Worthington’s wheelchair-bound character has his mind uploaded into the body of a native “avatar” and then those Marines and the natives of Pandora engage in a couple of battles between gunships and dragons in the air, all focused seemingly ...

... us, while someone who moves to the left moves towards us. Thus, in most movies, the vast majority of epic battle scenes begin with "our" side moving from left to right while "their" side moves in the opposite direction. Once the armies have clashed, of course, all bets are off, as soldiers from both sides move in all sorts of directions -- but this is generally how the battle scenes begin. So it is interesting to see Cameron reverse this approach. The trailer itself contains a few of these shots. First, the humans: ...
