will this be categorized as animation film come next award season, because i didn't find a single frame that wasn't CGIed to death in the trailer. at least the first film had some sort of "human" aspect.

one of their kids is a human.

[skeetertuskin]

huh?

[polynucleotide]

basically a kid that was born on the human base gets adopted by jake and neytiri.

Just watched the first one for the first time earlier this year when they rereleased it, and while the script was actively bad at parts, it really did look fantastic! Since most of the reviews are praising the visuals, and a few are even saying this one is better overall, I'll be there.

I don't think anyone doubted the film would look good. My issue is how derivative the story is.

[chllschse]

What is the storyline for the sequel? I haven't really looked into it.......

[blorpz]

it's like erin brokavich in space

"They're called boobs, Neytiri."

I am ready. I don't care about the SFX, particularly, but James Cameron has gotten millions of Americans to cheer for the fresh of cops (T2), the rich (Titanic), and, above all, US TROOPS (Avatar)!!!!!!

I'm very very into the not subtle messages of these films.

Fresh?

[eronanke]

AH SHIT I meant "death"

I still remember David Sims when he wrote terrible reviews of Seinfeld on Avclub.
