New Extended Avatar Clip

I'm still not the least bit interested in this movie. I mean c'mon seriously, who doesn't already know exactly how this story goes? Marine comes to make aliens trust him, falls in love, sides with aliens, saves their world. THE END.

Ah yes...Future Space Blue Alien Pocohantas movie

There's really nothing original or compelling about this movie at all to me....

Do you hate him as a writer or director?

Multipurposeponi: Cameron's almost strictly scifi (with the exception of Titanic) The only time Michael Bay even tried to be visually original was Transformers. He usually just does Humans shooting each other. Kurtzman and Orci screwed up the sequel. Saving Earth with magic dust, who let them keep that, even I was embarrassed

This clip is actually pretty interesting. I like that kind of rapid exposition. I feel like this could ell a decent story, whether or not cameron is revolutionizing cinema s yet to be seen, but this looks like it could be an interesting scifi movie.

In the case of a Director who 'writes' the screenplay (which is often a bad idea), Cameron probably should have come up with a better explanation for them speaking English, kept the movie dialogue in subtitles and just said that the Main Character could understand them in English when inside the Avatar or just do what Peter Jackson did with District Nine and gloss over the explanation entirely (THAT bothered me).

Oh, another Corporations: BAD! Mining: BAD! Military: BAD! American settlement of the west: BAD! Jesus, this thing is played out as hell. It’s a cliché.

Man, James after all these years and all that hype THIS is what you're feeding us?

I'm going to throw a prediction out there like I did with GI Joe... It will make its budget back, but not much else and will in no way revolutionize film CGI or the way film is made. In fact I sense a turning of the page on the wholly digital film and over use of CGI a lot of new more relevant directors are already beginning to move back the other way. I think the rep of Lucas and now even Cameron if this thing doesn't go HUGE will knee cap the whole "why have actors when we can CGI a character" thing.

Yep, I’m making the same call I did on Joe: Given what I’ve seen so far I have no interest in seeing it. That could change, but I’m not going to plunk down my hard earned cash just to see a story I've seen a thousand times before just to see the cool CGI… No story no money, sorry. All visuals no story is half a movie, so I’ll save all my money thank you. If the reviews come back and enough people say that there is a new twist or a better perspective on the same old script; anything new beyond the visual, I’ll change my opinion and give it a chance. But as of right now given what I’ve seen so far… sorry James, I’m in no way convinced.

Now let calling me a prejudgemental hater BEGIN!!!
BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Oh yeah Spider, add that to the list..cool movie, and proof that Ryan Reynolds has some chops outside of smarmy dickhead comedies.

To everyone writing: All I'm saying is pay attention who your blaming in movies (writer, director, screenwriter, actor, etc.) and what your blaming them for.

Rorshach01: You could be right, but try this...would those movies have worked with a different writer, director or cast? Look what happened Xmen 3 when they changed directors: the idea was a good, dramatic series of ideas, but it got blown up into an overrated action movie by Brett Ratner. This is all assuming you liked the first two.

wesley from what I've read it wasn't Kurtzman and Orci who screwed up transformers two, they've said that most of their ideas were thrown out by bay and krugar, which is why they left the film and aren't doing a third.

Shibazz while I get how your heritage makes you connect with those themes, I think personally they are cliche for most people. Still Cameron does good scifi so I'll see it.

Well, Im sure if one or all of those elements were changed the movie would have turned out differently, but if a frog had wings it wouldn't bump its ass a hoppin:) X3 was let down by its script first and foremost I thought. Ratner actually did ok with what he had to work with. There was hardly any character development, it was all just bland interaction and action..maybe that was down to him..I really don't know whow much input or stroke he had over the direction the story went..but since he's usually the go to guy for wham bang, proccessed movie Im thinking not much!

thwhtGuardin: I haven't heard anything like that until now (I just heard he was a prick on set), you could be right. Most of part 2 works for me, but the ending, like I said...MAGIC DUST?! I thought Kruger was brought in to bring some originality to the sequel.

Rorshach: I'm not talking about the story itself. The ideas were just fine, but the visual presentation...it feels like run of the mill action flick to me. How would those ideas been presented if Singer had stayed. How would Superman Returns have felt if they'd gone with someone other than Singer to Direct? The cast for that one is perfect but visually it seems...cynical.

...i really don't get the hype. this movie looks shitty. just seems so uninteresting.

Yeah, how do you get away with a 90 minute movie when the last one was 2hours! Who's idea was it to explain Nightcrawler's sudden disappearance in a VIDEOGAME? I like videogames, but that move was bad!

But if Singer honored Christopher Reeve so much, why wouldn't he have pushed for a tone more like those films? Yeah, there's only so much you can do in a case like that, but I just remember the classic films had an optimism to them that wasn't in Returns. (Glossing over Superman's absence wasn't a great move on Singers part)
