From my Twitter earlier today:
I just watched the trailer for geek flick "Avatar" and I have absolutely no idea what it's supposed to be about. Gay monsters in space?

It looks interesting. Maybe it will just be a bootleg of Titanic vs Aliens.
There's a lot of comments on here about it looking like a videogame. It's more a case of videogames looking more and more like film isn't it? And this sort of shit is (unfortunately) where the majority of game designers still find inspiration.
Give me another big dumb hulk with a gun, please.

ffs. This is the same shithead that gave us Titanic. This looks, if that is even possible, just as bad!
- also the same shithead that gave us Terminator 2bulletfactory

"If the aliens werent so ridiculous looking I might be more interested in it. I cant take it seriously though with how the look." and the resulting "+10000" both deserve a serious lol
so what exactly does an "alien" look like that you might "take seriously"? FML, now movies are too detailed... if you want to imagine something go read a book ffs
- The alien in the movie of the same name (Alien) was the best!jfletcher

I bet 90% out of those 300million it did cost was used for marketing and PR.
$5 - the movie will suck

The earliest reviews of Avatar put Cameron's latest effort on track for an extremely strong path with critics, as review after review praise the film on multiple levels. Variety's Todd McCarthy writes, "James Cameron's long-gestating epic pitting Earthly despoilers against a forest-dwelling alien race delivers unique spectacle, breathtaking sights, narrative excitement and an overarching anti-imperialist, back-to-nature theme that will play very well around the world." McCarthy continues, "Cameron delivers again with a film of universal appeal that just about everyone who ever goes to the movies will need to see."
IGN Movies' Jim Vejvoda calls Avatar a "cinematic landmark" and has this message for moviegoers: "My advice to you is to forget all that you think you know or believe about Avatar. Just go and experience the world of Pandora and revel in the fact that one of the most entertaining filmmakers of our time is back in action." Empire's Chris Hewitt gives the film the publication's highest rating (5 stars), calling it, "Rich, soulful and exciting in the way that only comes from seeing a master artist at work," but strongly recommended that viewers should see the film in its intended 3D format.
In the UK, The Sneak from The Sun raves, "It's a 3D movie people will look back on in years to come to comment on how it transformed cinema." - continuing on to make the bold prediction that "The only reason that Avatar won't top Titanic at the box office is that there are not enough digital screens around the world to show it in all its 3D wonder."
Kirk Honeycutt from The Hollywood Reporter says of Cameron, "With every visual tool he can muster, he takes viewers through the battle like a master tactician, demonstrating how every turn in the fight, every valiant death or cowardly act, changes its course." He continues, "Not a minute is wasted; there is no down time. The only question is: How will Cameron ever top this?"

i jsut watched the trailer for the first time and after never hearing anything of it i am rather inspired by the mechas i saw in the trailer.
they were real beefy especially in the upper shoulder areas, i think i will have to start development on a new line of beefy and more menacing and terrorizing mechas than i ever made b4.i am rather giddy now, i feel a wetness in my legs i have to go change now.
