That sure looked like a hollywood movie.
I wonder at what point we can just consider movies like these under the animation category.

I'm sure he does know, but yeah whether it's good or not remains to be seen. If anything I'm expecting at least on the same level as the original. Which is perfectly acceptable, just that you expect someone of his caliber to push the envelope on script and performance from actors.
It looks fucking amazing!
I wonder who the human running around with the Na'vi is. Looks like towards the end of the trailer like it might but one of Jakes and Netiris kids but not sure. I really can't wait!!

Oh yea?
We got Americium for America, and Europium for Europe.
Most of it is animation. I guess it straddles the line because of its use of mocap and because there are actually live action actors and sets in the movie.
Yes I'm aware.
They were named after places/people. There are no elements called "soilium" or "waterium". Actual thought went into the names if ever so slightly.
lol ok
p.s. the only odd hill to die on is to keep bringing something up that is silly at worst.
But it can't be an adopted kid, right? Humans can't naturally breathe Pandora's air.
If I remember correctly, Jake's DNA was used to grow his Na'vi host body. If that's the case, it's likely that some traits of his human phenotype exist in his sperm (?) and can be passed on. Which means some of his offspring can be born looking pretty close to human (especially because in one shot it looks like Jake has two kids, the other looking more Na'vi).
EDIT: Oh wait, I just looked again. He's wearing one of those oxygen things.
What the hell are these big blockbusters with deep plots that people are watching for the last decade that somehow Avatar gets singled out on.
All the MCU garbage has straight forward piss poor plotting with mcguffins all over the place but somehow Avatar cannot match the wonder standards of all the comic shit that gets manufactured everyday of the week.
I hope unlike the cape shit movies, Cameron can bring some of his action expertise to the table and direct some cool coherent action sequences like Aliens T2 etc..

Wait for it to win Best Cinematography like the first film, even though a lot of those shots were created in a computer.
The human kid is wearing a breathing mask in every scene he shows up.
Yeah, I just watched the official trailer again. In the potato trailer you couldn't really make it out.
I'm excited. It'll be fun at minimum, and Cameron on a sequel is a special beast.
Also for as hamfisted as it was I have come to appreciate just how unapologetic Avatar and really Cameron movies in general are with there politics. Avatar for all its flaws actually has things to say. which is much more then can be said about almost every other major blockbuster ever.
I'll take another unsubtle sledgehammer to the face cause it's actually trying.

Well for one, the MCU has vastly more compelling stories because people actually care about the characters in the story.
Both Terminator films and Aliens had characters we cared about. They had arcs. I'm not aware of anyone claiming MCU films have deep plots. It's people flying though the air and shit.
Right after one another.
Resetera gif.
I really dug this on the big screen, saw Dr. Strange twice in 3D IMAX. This is going to be bonkers visually. Cameron sure knows how to present some incredible shots.
Good music, well done trailer.
The first one was still the best 3D experience I had in the theaters.
Nice. Hope we get more than a Palpatine explanation for this dude returning to life.
In hindsight, that award was pretty wack lol
I imagine it will involve the way they communicate "storing" him or something.
I'm curious as well. There is zero way it gets as bad as "Well he's back".
Similar reaction to the trailer as to the first film: It's gorgeous, and I feel absolutely zero emotional response to it.
I think a lot of it is a holdover from when the first movie came out, and a lot of the convenient criticisms that existed at the time but, imo, were pretty surface level. But as I said in the other thread, it's really hard for me to hold on to some of those criticisms in a world where the MCU (and the DCU to a lesser extent) exists. And then you realize, damn, when the first Avatar came out the MCU as we know it wasn't really a thing yet, as the first Iron Man film had only come out the year before. We're really getting the sequel to one of the biggest Blockbuster films of all time over a decade later and in a much different cinematic landscape. That alone is crazy to me. The standard for a big blockbuster action film is so different now (I'd argue in some ways the standard was higher circa 2009).
It kind of reminds me of all the crap Watchmen got, but I'm not opening that can of worms...
Exactly, just like games have, what with all the hate these day.
Animation is Cinema too.
Cameron did not make up this term. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unobtainium
My assumption was always that the company and/or geologists who discovered it on Pandora named it half as a joke, half as a fulfillment of an always wished for but forever out of reach discovery.
This has been brought up so many times and people still come back with, "dumb name!" Hoh'kay....Move on, folks.
Why, though? How is it "lazy writing" to use an actual term that has been in use for around 70 years, even in (as the Wikipedia article states) "formal engineering papers"?
Because it wasn't the only example of lazy or bad writing in the film.
Your argument is literally these elements that are named after a language I don't understand but are also arbitrary are so much better than these modern elements that are based on languages I do understand. That's a salient point to you...
So if it was unobtanium in french or latin you'd have no issue? Man...
No I'd still have issue.
Why are you folks so worked up about this? Avatar is not a perfect film.
Relax.
