The Trailer for James Cameron’s AVATAR
by E. Christopher Clark | Thursday, August 20, 2009
Before today, I knew nothing about James Cameron’s next film, Avatar, save that, based on the hype, I was supposed to love it with every fiber of my geeky being. The first trailer is out now however, and now that I have something concrete to pass judgement on, I’m not sure if I’m ready to declare it the Awesomest Thing Since AwesomeSauce. It certainly looks cool (as do these stills obtained by Ain’t It Cool News), but I’m not sure that this is anything more than a neat sci-fi flick. The technology may be fantastic, and it may make 3D moviegoing an honestly pleasurable experience, but the story is what it all comes down to. Is this thing going to be anything more than just spectacle. Right now, I can’t tell.
How about you?

Nope. But they are making a movie version of that cartoon, too. I think it’s called The Last Airbender. There’s a trailer here.
E. Christopher Clark says:
Do you know anything about it (the plot, specifically)?
Brendan says:
So, this has nothing to do with the cartoon show, then?
