The Uncanny Valley...

"It was like doing some kind of drug," he said, describing a scene in which the movie's hero, played by Sam Worthington, ran around "with this kind of hot alien chick" and was attacked by jaguarlike creatures and was sprinkled with sprites that floated down, like snowflakes.... "You feel like the little feathery things are landing on your arm."

"It's great to be back in the saddle making a movie- and making a movie that I know - win, lose, or draw, whether it's a good film or not, I know there's going to be images in this film we're making right now that are going to Blow. People. Away...They'll be like, 'what the f*ck?"...cause we say that when we see the shots coming back from WETA Digital. They sent us a shot last week, and I said, 'this is ridiculous!' So, I don't know if it's gonna add up to be a great film, but I already feel proud that there's some cool stuff in it."

This sounds like it'll be a truly revolutionary moviegoing experience; I'll be there opening day! :D

I've seen J.Camerons Aliens of the Deep, Ghosts of the Abyss along with bits and pieces of Titanic and I enjoyed them far more than anything I'd seen before and I know that Avatar is going to be beyond great.

From what I've read Cameron's Avatar is a move over Halo and a cross between Tarzan, Star Trek and 2001 A Space Odyssey with a bit of cowboys and indians and a great moral lesson attached. I'm looking forward to this sure to be SciFi epic that the whole family can enjoy.

The more people refer incessantly to this movie, the more apathetic I become to it all.

Cameron's always been an over-hyped hack so far as I'm concerned. Terminator was a happy accident. The rest of his oeuvre I can do without.

I have to agree. Having seen the trailer, I have to say this did nothing for me.

Apparently, Cameron has gone far as to say this is going to revolutionize motion pictures, and frankly, I don't see it. Maybe it'll truly benefit on the big-screen in 3D, but it doesn't look to be the film of the decade or anything.

Personally I thought the trailer was better than I expected. But, of course, I had lowered my expectations. While it may not be photo-real, that is some nice looking CG.
