The trailer for Avatar is out (shown at SDCC last month), and I'm still not impressed.

Here's a rundown;
Outer space. Nice.
All the human scenes look cool. No dialogue, so that's not saying much.
There's the guy from Terminator Salvation... in a wheelchair?
Oooh mechs. This looks like a live-action anime movie.
Planet scenes look cool... semi-realistic.
Blue guy.
Blue guy wakes up.
ZOMG ACTION.
STUFF BLOWING UP.
FLYING DINOSAUR THINGS.
FEMALE BLUE GUY.
LOVE STORY.
End.
For being in production for the last 4 years, this looks kinda lame. Mostly the rubber CG aliens.
Note to James Cameron; if you want to see how to make realistic aliens, go see District 9.
Apparently 14 years and hundreds of millions of dollars, and that's the best he could come up with... meanwhile Blomkamp & Jackson spend 30 million & 6 months of writing & directing, and come out with one of the best Sci Fi movies of all time.
