I don't think the regular trailer links are working yet. Pretty funny on the IMDb board for this movie. Apple's trailer site had a countdown and then none of the links worked. People were flipping out.

Anywhoo, think Mr. Cameron went a bit CGI crazy. Even for simple shots of humans he uses CGI instead...and pretty noticeable which is which. Hyped it up too much with the photorealism talk of his. Looks pretty though. The cat people look too human (proportion and feature wise) that they might as well just went for makeup and just used CGI for the tales. Furries are gonna love it.

Back to the IMDb board. Anarchy there. So much hate. So much fun.

When Smurfs attack!





These look like the ships from Halo 3.

HD can really betray CGI. I can't watch Transformers in HD because it doesn't even look like the live action and CGI characters are in the same movie.

So thus far opinions have been across the board.

From people not knowing this isn't related to the cartoon, to people expressing the overuse of CG to people who will gladly have James Cameron's (most likely CG) babies.

I don't know, the movie is supposed to be entirely in 3D so maybe some of that was lost in the trailer.

I was disappointed when I saw it. Not sure why... overhyped?

Blue creatures being hunted by men in machines... could be coincidence, could have inspired Cameroni.

Edit: This part looks SO fake and ugly:

Dear lord. You should be ashamed. And by ashamed I mean aroused.

Thanks. I tried posting at the Avatar forum on IMDb but there were new threads every couple seconds and quickly got buried. Posted it at the only other forum I belong to and I was told I raped this guys childhood and psychologically scarred him for life. That made my day.


But then today I found out there's real smurf porn. People dressed like them and painted blue all over....everything is blue. That's going to haunt me...especially after Papa Smurf showed up.

Myeah I guess I'll go into an Avatar silence now... just not to get my hopes up, and to prevent spoilers. I'll give it a watch, but not in the opening week.
